Families with children in first through sixth grade still have time to sign up for The Salvation Army’s summer lunch program. The program, which began in June, runs through July 29. Ten spots are still available and there is no deadline to sign up.
“This is the second year we have done this program and both years it has been a great (program) for us to do,” said Lt. Jon Tollerud of The Salvation Army in Wrangell. “We believe that providing meals for working families is helpful so that parents can worry a little less during summer about their kids.”
Tollerud said on average there are about 12 children who participate in the program Monday through Friday. There are no income qualifications or other restrictions to participate in the program, he said. Parents need only call 907-874-3753 to sign up their children.
City Market is providing lunches for the program. On the menu for the rest of the season is as follows:
Monday: Chicken bowl
Tuesday through Thursday: Sandwiches
Friday: Chicken nuggets and jojo potatoes
The Salvation Army is located at 611 Zimovia Highway.
