School district to host free summer lunches for children

The Auburn School District – in partnership with community organizations – will offer free meals to children ages 1-18, from June 24-Aug. 28, Monday-Friday.

Last summer more than 70,000 meals were served.

The program also is available to youth-related groups such as sports teams, day cares and youth camps. The meals are free and no registration is required. A variety of hot and cold lunches will be offered daily and include entrée, cold milk, and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Sites will be located throughout Auburn, Algona and Pacific. All children are invited to participate at any site.

The summer food program also will be delivering lunches to apartment complexes throughout the city.
