This summer, a free breakfast and lunch program for children aged 18 and under will be available in the community. The initiative aims to ensure every child has access to nutritious food during the summer months.

The meal program is accessible at various locations as listed in an accompanying flyer. Children aged 18 and under are eligible to participate at no cost. The menu includes whole grains, fresh fruits, lean proteins, and vegetables to provide the necessary energy for active and healthy lifestyles.

Parents and guardians can also join their children for meals. While children's meals are free, adult meals are offered at a nominal price: $2.75 for breakfast and $4.60 for lunch.

The program addresses a critical need for families who depend on school meals during the academic year. By providing free meals during the summer, it helps bridge the gap and ensures no child goes hungry.

Community members are encouraged to spread the word about this resource so that more families can benefit from it. Participation in this meal program supports a broader community effort to keep everyone nourished throughout the summer season.
