Although nutritional food programs may benefit some local students during the school year, for those students, summer break does not just mean a break from classes and homework. It also means a break from the nutritional food programs that the children rely upon.

But thanks to a partnership between Hamilton Township, the CYO of Mercer County - which operates Hamilton’s Bromley Neighborhood Civic Center and Mercer Street Friends – another non-profit that coordinates a local food bank at the center, township children between the ages of 5 and 14 can continue to enjoy nutritional lunches throughout the summer.

A US Department of Agriculture grant will allow the free summer lunch program – which officials believe is the first of its kind in Hamilton – to start in late June and continue through the middle of August.  The program will provide local children with nutritional lunches at the Bromley Neighborhood Civic Center. 

On sunny summer days, children who are registered for the program will be able to enjoy lunch at the center’s picnic tables, which surrounds a brand new playground set that officials recently installed.  During inclement weather, lunch will be served inside the center.    

Hamilton parents can register their children for the program by its June 19^th deadline by contacting the Bromley Neighborhood Civic Center at 609.587.8100, info@cyobromley.org  or visiting the center, located at 1801 East State Street in Hamilton.  Applications are also available on the Bromley Neighborhood Civic Center’s website: cyobromley.org

Because this program is available to solely children of Hamilton Township, parents must provide proof of residency identification.

“We are excited to be able to provide this beneficial service at the Bromley Neighborhood Civic Center.  Through this summer program, I believe this partnership between CYO of Mercer, Hamilton Township and Mercer Street Friends will make a true difference for children across Hamilton Township,” says Thomas Mladenetz, Executive Director of the CYO of Mercer County.

CYO Bromley Farm to Family Program

CYO Bromley Center has partnered with RWJ Barnabas Health and Snipes Farm on a Farm to Family Program.  The program operates for 16 weeks from July to October with weekly sessions for participating families.  During each session, families are taught the nutritional value of eating fresh produce which is supplied from Snipes Farm.  Additionally participants learn some home gardening tips on how to grow fresh fruits and vegetables on their own, and healthy living education.  The goal of the Farm to Family program is to address food insecurity.  Below are some pictures from the program.
