The Southern Appalachian Labor School has announced their sponsorship of the federally-funded Summer Food Service Program as part of its Feed & Read initiative.
Lunch is open to ages 18 and under, who would like to participate. Free books with a site-based reading component will also be provided.
Meals will be served at the following sites: BridgeWater Apartments at 60 4th Ave., Montgomery, from noon to 12:30 p.m.; Gertrude Apartments at 244 Lykens Ave., Smithers, from 12:45 p.m. to 1:15 p.m.; Collin Wood Trailer Park at 1 Crestview Drive, Oak Hill, from noon to 12:30 p.m.; Pine Knolls Apartments at 99 Pine Knolls’ Oak Hill from 12:45 p.m. to 1:15 p.m.; and SALS Community Center at 1862 Beards Fork Rd., Robson.
Meals and books will be provided Monday through Friday from June 16 through Aug. 8. We will be closed June 19 and June 20 in observance of Juneteenth and West Virginia Day, and closed July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
A nutritious meal is important for children to learn, play and remain active during the summer months. Last summer, the Feed & Read program served 1,000 meals. For more information about the SALS Summer Program, please call Artie Mullins at 304-779-2280.
SALS needs funds to make the program work, since expenses such as fuel, utilities, books, insurance, and perishable nutritious food/milk must be purchased. Contributions are tax deductible and can be sent to SALS, P.O.Box 127, Kincaid, WV 25119, or via PayPal at www.sals.info/donate.
