Freel lunch for kids this summer!

Without free or reduced-price meals at school, some Oconee children face a summer of hunger.  A program of the county school district and the public libraries will counteract that this summer. Three library branches will serve free meals this summer to children, courtesy of the school district’s food services department.  The summer meal schedule runs week days until July 29, with no meals served July 4. The times and locations are 11:30 – 12:30 at Seneca Library; 11:00 – 12:00 at Walhalla Library and 12:30 – 1:30 at Westminster Library. Any child 18 years and under is entitled to a free, nutritious lunch.  There are no income requirements or registration.  Only one meal per child a day and the child must be present to receive meal. No carry-outs allowed.  For more information, contact Youth Services Librarian Stacie Powell at [email protected] or the School District at 864-886-4400 ext. 6179.  For more information about the national Summer Food Service Program, visit http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/summer .
