The purpose of the tour is to raise awareness about the summer food service program, provide an opportunity for youth to meet key members of the community, and develop community advocates of the summer food service program.
The parade included artwork that youths have worked on this summer.
This artwork came from the Wise Street Park site, where they hosted a summer camp as well. Representatives will visit Wise Street Park from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. July 20.
Youths were excited to not only be in the parade, but also show off their T-shirts and hats.
These posters demonstrated some of the summer activities that were held at Nance Forest.
The Wise Street Park summer camp also included a garden as an activity. That summer camp is being hosted by the Newberry Literacy Council.
Residents of Nance Forest Apartments came outside to wave as the parade passed by.
