The Washington Morgan County Community Action Program announces the sponsorship of the USDA Summer Food Service Program for Children. Free meals will be made available to all children 18 years of age and under or persons over 18 who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be medically or physically disabled. For a growing number of children, school lunch and breakfast have become principal meals of the day. During the summer months, these meals are not available and children go hungry. Studies show that children who do not receive proper nutrition over summer months begin school six months behind their peers. The summer nutrition program is an important component of school readiness and an outlet for socialization over the summer for children who are not part of any other structured summer programming. Reservations for the meals need to be made the day before by contacting the site. Free, hot meals will be served Monday through Friday at noon at the following sites: New Matamoras First Presbyterian Church 300 Front Street New Matamoras, OH Reservation Number: (740) 373-3455 Open: June 5 - August 2 Lunch served at 12:00 John Dodge Park Beverly, OH 45715 Reservation Number: (740) 373-3455 Open: June 5- August 2 Lunch served at 12:00 Lower Salem Village Hall Lower Salem, OH Reservation Number: (740) 373-3455 Open: June 10- August 9 Lunch served at 12:00 |
