(MSC News)--Free lunches for children are being offered this summer in three local communities.
In Hiawatha, Hiawatha ACES will again hold their summer lunch program for children, but at a new location.
The program will be held in the basement of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office from June 6th through August 12th, Monday through Friday, from 11:30 to 1:00.
The program has been held at the Fisher Center the past two summers. Hiawatha ACES President Ian Schuetz says they wanted a more centralized location in an effort to boost participation.
Hiawatha ACES works with the Second Harvest Community Food Bank in St. Joseph to offer nutritional meals, free of charge, to anyone up to age 18.
In Holton, a recent Jackson Heights High School graduate is partnering with several organizations to make sure local school-aged children don’t go hungry this summer.
Kay Andrews, in cooperation with Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas, the First United Methodist Church of Holton, Harvesters Community Food Network and the U.S. Department of Agriculture is providing a free lunch during the summer months to all children ages 18 and younger.
The free meals are being served from 11 to noon Monday through Friday from now until August 13th at Rafter’s City Park located at 711 Nebraska Street in Holton.
Children don’t need to sign up for the program or provide any sort of proof of income.
In Seneca, free lunches will be provided for children at the Seneca City Park from June 1st through July 29th. They will be served Monday through Friday from 11:30 to 12:30.
The meals are sponsored by the Harvesters Group, Catholic Charities, and the Department of Agriculture.
