Each week, parents or caregivers can pick up 10 free, shelf-stable meals per child at the library branches. Three fresh pieces of fruit are also available for each child.
More than 700,000 children across Ohio live in food-insecure households, according to the Children’s Hunger Alliance website.
“Summer nutrition programs serve as a bridge to fill the summer meal gap that so many children face each year and also helps attract more children and teens to the summer enrichment programming needed to reduce summer learning loss.”
No registration is needed. Pickup times are between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
