The NY Food Museum has mounted an exhibit on the history of the National School Lunch Program in New York City. Located at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, the exhibit will run through Oct. 31, 2000.
Items highlighted in the exhibit include photographs, writings and trays.
The exhibit focuses on the establishment of the school lunch program, the role that government, farmers and business have played in the program, and the important link between learning and nutrition. The NY Food Museum creates food-related exhibits to fill empty spaces. This school lunch exhibit will be looking for a new home in New York on November 1.
