Proof that holds up when the line gets long.

Oxford City Schools is showing what modern summer feeding looks like when the mission is clear: make meal access easier, organized, and available for families when school is out.

WBRC featured the district’s Summer Feeding Program — free bulk breakfast and lunch support, multiple pickup locations, and the work led by Cheyenne Mattox and the Oxford City Schools Child Nutrition Program team. The Anniston Star covered the opening of summer meal registration, giving families a direct path to claim pickup tickets.

The real story is the people behind the work: teams planning, packing, communicating, and serving their communities with urgency and care.

Meals do not happen by accident. They happen because school nutrition teams see a need, step up, and keep adapting.

When Chilton County opened registration for its summer bulk feeding program, 1,000 tickets were claimed in only 45 minutes. The district responded by doubling the next offering to 2,000 tickets — and families responded just as quickly.

Bridgette Cooedy and the Chilton County Child Nutrition Program team are the example: recognizing the need, adapting fast, and doing whatever it takes for their community. WBRC also covered how the district is stepping up to fight summer food insecurity.

Across one week, district nutrition teams supported by TicketHarmony served families at an extraordinary scale. The photos in this spotlight feature Haleyville City Schools and the people making distribution happen in their community.

TicketHarmony powered the registration and ticketing behind more than 186,440 meals served overall that week through summer feeding distributions.

For many partners this was still early in the season, with distribution days still ahead. The real work belongs to the teams preparing meals, organizing distributions, and caring for their communities.

The Autauga County Schools Child Nutrition Program reported an extraordinary first week of summer feeding bulk distribution — more than 2,200 children served and roughly 22,200 meals provided.

Their public update recognized the staff, volunteers, community partners, and families who make each week possible. WSFA 12 also featured the district’s summer meals coverage.

Summer feeding moves fast. Families need clear information, teams need reliable counts, and districts need a workflow that keeps up from registration through distribution day.

What results have districts seen with SchoolMealPass?

1,000 Chilton County tickets claimed in 45 minutes, then doubled to 2,000. Autauga County CNP served 2,200+ children and ~22,200 meals in week one. More than 252,000 meals registered in a two-week span, and 2M+ overall through SchoolMealPass workflows.

Which districts use TicketHarmony for summer feeding?

Public spotlights and news coverage feature Oxford City Schools, Chilton County Schools, Haleyville City Schools, and Autauga County Schools CNP, among other districts participating in USDA summer feeding programs.

How does TicketHarmony handle a registration that sells out in minutes?

Capacity limits, waitlists, releases, and change alerts keep a high-demand opening controlled, and reminders push pickup details back to families before distribution day. Districts can open another offering instead of reconciling an oversubscribed list by hand.

Can we see these stories ourselves?

Yes — every spotlight links to its public source: WBRC, The Anniston Star, WSFA 12, or the original Facebook post. Read the coverage directly rather than taking a vendor’s word for it.
