For many children, summer break can create a gap in access to reliable meals. United Way of Metropolitan Dallas is working to help families bridge that gap with its annual Summer Meals Kickoff event on Wednesday, June 10, at Albert C. Black Jr. STEAM Academy in southern Dallas. The free, family-friendly event will include meal distribution, groceries to take home, health and wellness resources, crafts, inflatables and soccer activities with FC Dallas mascot Tex Hooper.
