The Summer Feeding Programs' promotion tools can help get the word out about your summer program. TDA will use these images throughout the summer in statewide outreach. Together, we can create greater awareness and feed more children this summer. Refer to the USDA Outreach Toolkit to help build your outreach plan. The months after summer school lets out are where the largest drop in participation occurs. Use these tools to create awareness in your community.
