Summer Food Program a Hit

WAITSBURG – The summer food program at the Waitsburg Elementary School cafeteria is going strong in its second year, with the number of participants doubled over last year, according to Food Service Director Susan Wildey.

"The program is great because children have a safe, fun place to enjoy free meals with their friends while networking and interacting with children they may never see or some they may never even have met," said Wildey.

Breakfast and lunches are free to children age 18 and under, with no paperwork to fill out or income requirements.

"No information is asked or needed. Just come as you are and enjoy a nice hot breakfast and lunch. Community participation is necessary to make this program a success. We appreciate people taking advantage of the program which is a great resource for the community," Wildey said.

Meals are served Monday – Friday at the elementary multipurpose room. Breakfast is served from 8-8:30 a.m. and lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to noon.
