Families in need of additional meal support for their children can also pick up a prepackaged weekly dinner kit from the Westside Community Center as part of the Summer Food Service Program through Be A Champion, a program operated by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Each meal kit will contain enough food for seven meals and all children aged 18 and younger are eligible for meals.


Distributions will take place each Monday through August 17 from 4-5:30 p.m., and a form of identification is encouraged but not required for each child receiving meals.
