5/13/14 - The Summer Lunch Bunch program will once again offer meals to local children this summer, courtesy of the Salvation Army and the Livingston County Hunger Council. The program provides a free lunch served once a week from June 16th through August 8th. Each week, lunches will be offered at churches in Howell, Brighton, Hartland, Fowlerville, and Hamburg, with transportation assistance available by request. Families who attend will get a free lunch that day, plus a pack of meals to take home for their pantry that week. Games and prizes will also be offered for children. The Hunger Council says for many families, access to nutritious food for their children is reduced when schools close in the summer because the free and reduced cost lunch programs are not available. While participation in the Lunch Bunch is free, families must pre-register to participate. The deadline to apply is June 2nd. For more information, contact the Salvation Army of Livingston County or call (517) 546-4750. (TD)
