Summer is Here and Kids are Hungry

Are your kids on summer break? Are you a grandparent watching the grandkids over the summer? If you're in need, there's free food available, but only while supplies last.

Who's Eligible?

Anyone caring for kids this summer in Delta, Montrose, and Mesa Counties.

Here's What You'll Find in the Summer Break Box

Put simply, the box includes foods that kids love and which can be easily prepared by young people. For example:

• macaroni and cheese
• breakfast bars
• string cheese
• ravioli

Personally, I'm 51 and perfectly capable of screwing up macaroni and cheese. Kids, on the other hand, seem to be able to prepare it without difficulty.
