Now, it is expected to once again deliver as many as 2,100 daily lunches and snacks to at least \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/documents/2025-SFSP-List-of-Sites.pdf\">47 sites\u003c/a> throughout the city, including many libraries, recreation centers, nonprofits and churches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Food service is set to begin May 27, immediately after the end of Oakland’s school year, and continue into the second week of August. Meals are available to all children 18 and under, as well as some adults with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A full list of sites offering lunches this summer can be found on \u003ca href=\"https://cao-94612.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/documents/2025-SFSP-List-of-Sites.pdf\">the city’s website\u003c/a>, as well as through the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/re/mo/cameals.asp\">CA Meals for Kids\u003c/a> app.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program’s revival comes after the East Bay Community Foundation and Eat. Learn. Play., a nonprofit founded by Steph and Ayesha Curry, recently agreed to contribute up to $375,000 to continue food service at the roughly 21 community sites that the city had informed \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12034895/oakland-halts-free-summer-meals-amid-budget-shortfall\">in late March\u003c/a> that the meals they were expecting to soon start serving would not be available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was quite demoralizing having to be the bearer of bad news, especially having been this close to the program over the past few years and having experienced firsthand the amount of need,” said Michael Akanji, an analyst in the Oakland City Administrator’s Office who oversees the summer program and sent out the email to partner sites. “I was sad at the prospect of kids showing up this year … to be turned away because there was no food. Relief is my primary emotion at this point, just knowing that that does not have to be the case. It’s an extremely important program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11960197\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11960197 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/AP23247692842290-scaled.jpg\" alt='A man and a woman stand on a stage speaking with a huge banner behind the that says, \"Eat.

When food is getting [more] expensive, these programs are more and more vital.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s cancellation announcement in March followed a City Council vote in December to reallocate funds from its sugar-sweetened beverage tax, part of a frantic effort to close what was then a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027749/oakland-reverses-several-layoffs-amid-scramble-close-massive-budget-deficit\">nearly $130 million budget shortfall\u003c/a>.

He also admitted to tax evasion by failing to report the embezzled funds as income on his tax filings from 2017 through 2021, and by misstating expenses associated with two purported businesses he claimed were operating at a loss — causing an estimated $287,000 in tax losses to the IRS, according to court filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 14 by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine or twice the gross gain from the fraud, and must pay at least $549,132 in restitution to the EOBA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard’s attorney, Randy Sue Pollock, declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11960197\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/AP23247692842290-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11960197\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/AP23247692842290-scaled.jpg\" alt='A man and a woman stand on a stage speaking with a huge banner behind the that says, \"Eat.
