This year’s Family Food Fest was held on Saturday, May 7, 2016. This program was initiated by The Junior League of Tampa in 2014 with a goal to reduce the impact of the “summer slide”. To combat poor nutrition and reading loss as children recess from school for the summer, we encourage the community to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, along with highlighting the importance of literacy-based activities. The MILO (Mobile Interactive Literacy Opportunity) Bus was launched at the event.
