Friday, June 26th was the 2009 Summer Food Kick Off hosted by Burlington Parks & Recreation, Burlington School Systems, and the Campaign. Lisa Pino, Deputy Administrator of the nation's Food and Nutrition Program at the USDA attended along with Vermont Secretary of Human Services, Rob Hofman, Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss, and the Burlington Firefighters Association. After we ate our delicious lunches (all beef hot dogs, wheat rolls, and fresh Intervale fruits & veggies), the grown-ups headed to H.O. Wheeler School for a community round table with our USDA partners. It was a tremendously successful event! The Campaign and our partners had the opportunity to share our successes and challenges implementing the federal nutrition programs in our small, rural state. Check out the video from the event!
