Many of the sites also include activities offering kids not only a meal but a safe place to hang out for the day. The district has hosted the program for 12 years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The program has grown from its original number of six sites,&#8221; Petill said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no requirement and no questions are asked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Petill said each site typically sees 50 to 200 children per day.
