Summer Free Lunch Distribution Sites Needed

DPI is looking for locations willing to serve as a free meal site for children in the summer. Public libraries can be a distribution site. Typically the local school district would bring the meals to the library. The meals can be given to all children who are present so it might work for a lunch bunch situation. Interested libraries should check with their local school districts to see if their districts qualify for the program and to find out if the schools and library could work together on the program. Contact Allison Wineberg for more information at alison.wineberg@dpi.wi.gov.
