Children and parents bathed in sunshine and dappled with the shade of trees gathered Thursday in Santa Maria for a “Picnic in the Park,” as the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County kicked off its summer meals program for youths. The event to launch this year’s North County program started at 11:45 a.m. in Grogan Park at Rancho Verde and North Blosser Road, where volunteers handed out nutritious meals and milk beneath a shade canopy.
