The Salvation Army is working with Wrangell businesses and community donations to provide free weekday lunches for 50 children again this summer.
The program starts June 1 and will run through July 29, Lt. Jon Tollerud of The Salvation Army said last week. It’s open to children entering first through fifth grades.
“It will be similar to what we did last year,” Tollerud said, with families needing to call to register their kids in advance: 907-874-3753. The program is limited, and he encouraged families to call soon to sign up.
Children will receive a voucher each day, good for a lunch at City Market or other participants, Tollerud said last week, as he was still working to line up meal providers.
Kids will need to come out to the church on Zimovia Highway between 11 a.m. and noon each weekday to pick up their certificate for that day’s lunch.
Each certificate will be good for just that one day — no collecting multiple coupons and loading up on several lunches at once.
