Oxford School District OSD Child Nutrition Program receives supportive boost from Splinter Creek and local author, culinary guru.
Every weekday during the summer months, the Oxford School District (OSD) Summer Meal Program — a program within the district’s child nutrition department — provides children and youth up to the age of 18 a chance to receive nutritious meals when the school year ends.
Recently, the program’s efforts to provide free breakfast and lunch on a daily basis drew the attention of John T. Edge, award-winning food writer and director of the Southern Foodways Alliance. Splinter Creek hosted a book talk, dinner and fellowship event on June 15, 2017, to benefit the OSD Summer Meal Program. The book talk event spotlighted John T. Edge’s latest work, The Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South, and raised over $700 for the Summer Meal Program’s ongoing efforts.
