Today Governor Malloy held a news conference with Connecticut No Kid Hungry to launch the 2014 Summer Meals Program and promote the availability of free or reduced-priced lunches to children during the summer months.  While Connecticut ranks fourth in the nation for number of children participating in the free summer meals programs, only 26 percent of low-income children in Connecticut who receive free or reduced-price lunches during the school year participated in summer meals programs last year.  Also participating in the event will be Congresswoman Rose DeLauro and state Department of Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor.
