It has previously provided services in  Suffolk but had to stop when the U.S. Department of Agriculture would no  longer reimburse any service sites in Suffolk.<\/p>\n<p>However, the organization is hoping that sales of its new license  plate will help it raise enough money to provide services in Suffolk  once again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were in Suffolk at Tabernacle [Christian] Church,\u201d said Donyata  Washington, co-founder and executive director of Virginia Kids Eat Free.  \u201cThat was our main cooking site, and they provided food to five  different locations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, because other organizations also were providing food  services in Suffolk during the summer, the USDA no longer would provide  reimbursement to the organization to operate in Suffolk. Washington  hopes to change that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe plan on being back across the state,\u201d Washington said. \u201cWe\u2019re  working hard with some of our political leaders. There\u2019s a lot of  organizations that want us back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The program provides nutritious breakfasts, lunches and dinners for  children during the summer in areas where 50 percent or more of the  children get free or reduced lunch during the school year. When the  children cannot eat at school, sometimes they don\u2019t eat at all,  Washington said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Norfolk-based organization is hoping that proceeds from its new revenue-sharing license plate and a benefit concert later this month will help it expand services back into Suffolk.
