Scope and content
Four children wait in line in order to enjoy Darigold milk and a pastry snack on January 15, 1969. A lunchroom worker holds a carton of milk while another woman prepares to pour milk from a pitcher. This photograph is believed to have been taken at Jennie Reed Elementary School, where the Tacoma School District had recently begun offering breakfast for a mere nickel. School children would thus have the basis for a good start to the school day. The Tri-Mart Multi-Service helped to coordinate the volunteer service of primarily mothers who helped to serve and tidy up after the children were done eating. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc. (TNT 3-2-69, A-22)
