Kids can enjoy free lunch at Los Angeles County libraries this summer
Kids and teens can enjoy free lunch at Los Angeles County libraries this summer.
The Lunch at the Library program will provide free meals to those under 18 years old. The program aims to fill the gap in food discrepancy during summer months when students in need can no longer depend on school lunches for meals.
There are no family income restrictions to enjoy a free meal, however, all meals must be eaten at the library.
Twenty libraries will be offering lunch on a first come, first served basis from June 17 – Aug. 9. Food will be served from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. and will be available either Monday – Friday or Tuesday – Friday, depending on the location.
The program is a partnership with the L.A. County Department of Parks & Recreation.
“This marks the tenth consecutive year we have offered free meals through our Lunch at the Library program,” said L.A. County Library Director, Skye Patrick. “We know families depend on us to provide nutritious food for their children when they are away from school, and we are excited to once again provide this essential service to our neighbors.”
