That’s coming up next in your daily headlines:
Brown County Schools are launching their first-ever summer food program, and the response has escalated quickly.
That's Paula Waterman, from Brown County Schools Food Services Department. Funding from the US Department of Agriculture has allowed this small rural school system to put together summer meal kits intended to cover nutrition needs that would be met in school cafeterias during the school year. The weekly kits include five days of a full breakfast and five days of a full lunch. Pickups are every Tuesday from 4:30pm to 6:30pm at the Brown County High School and Sprunica Elementary, starting June Fourth.
The scale of the interest from the community has created a new problem for Waterman - a need for volunteers to help at the distribution sites.
To sign up for the free meals OR to help distribute them, the phone number is 988-5423. That's Brown County Schools Food Services Department, 812-988-5423.
Feature Report:
In today’s feature report, Civic Conversations welcomed Dr. Marjorie Hershey, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Indiana University, this month. In the podcast, she discusses the impact of disinformation on elections and how it influences election politics. Hershey shares that the definition of disinformation, purposeful misinformation designed to influence elections, has grown in recent years and that election campaigns that use disinformation hope that with enough repetitiveness of the information, people will begin to believe disinformation over the truth. We turn now to Civic Conversations – a partnership between WFHB and The League of Women Voters of Bloomington and Monroe County.
