Meals are available to all enrolled participants without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability and will be served at no separate charge, according to the MLK Center.
“We’re proud to once again partner in this important program that helps provide hunger relief to some of the most vulnerable in our community, “said Executive Director, Heather Hole Strout. Children in the MLK preschool and summer camp programs receive breakfast, lunch, and a snack each day. Children enrolled in after school are also provided with a daily healthy snack.
