It will ensure that our kids are not going hungry and provide a sense of security to families around food stability during the summer months. Through this program lunch will be provided to all registered children school age and under in Claridon, Newbury and the area covered by Berkshire and Cardinal School District. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday a hot meal will be provided. On Monday and Wednesday bagged lunches will be provided for Tuesday and Thursday. There is NOT an income eligibility requirements to receive lunch. All children are welcome! Meals will only be given to children who are present not to parents or caregivers. Children must be registered to receive lunch.
