BOARDMAN — School district staff and volunteers have worked together this year to ensure no student goes hungry during the ongoing pandemic. The Food Service Department of Boardman School District on Wednesday had its final food giveaway for 2020. Roughly 200 sets of seven breakfasts and seven lunches were handed out to struggling families. “We have done this every week since school started,” food service director Natalie Winkle said. “We also held it from March through June of this year.” Winkle said the program was put together by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its main objective was to ensure that every child had something to eat, and that the child would eat for free. To meet that goal, Winkle said the USDA reimburses food services that help provide healthy breakfasts and lunches for the children.
