NORWAY — School is out and it’s time to think about how children who receive free or reduced-priced lunch in school will eat healthy while school is out. “The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Child Nutrition Program established to ensure that low-income children, ages 18 and younger, continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session” – usda.gov. Every year the USDA partners with organizations like The Progress Center that are committed to ensuring the children and teens in our community have access to healthy food at no cost.

The Progress Center will make healthy lunches, coordinate fun activities and oversee volunteers over the next nine weeks. Lunches will be served June 24 to August 23 Monday through Friday in five locations:

• Moore Park, South Paris 11:30 a.m. to Noon
• Regency Park, Oxford Noon to 12:30 p.m.
• Alpine Park, Norway 11:30 a.m. to Noon
• Cottage Street Rec, Norway Noon to 12:30 p.m.
