range: help youth find summer meals
DESCRIPTION
Range is a mobile app that identifies the nearest place in time and location for a youth to get a summer meal. We want to put Range on the phones of trusted adults -- park service employees, librarians. volunteers at summer youth workshops -- so that they can provide information to youth about available meals.TRANSCRIPT

THE PROBLEM

Increased food insecurity during the summer can lead to a greater summer learning gap. Children can gain weight two to three times faster during the summer months.
