Summer Food Service Program to offer suppers during 2018 blueberry season
Harrington, Maine — With the Wild Blueberry Harvest right around the corner, it’s time to think about how children who receive free or reduced-priced lunch in school will eat healthy while school is out. Mano en Mano provides free meals to children during the harvest. Raker families can come for a grand opening of the Raker Center with your family to the kickoff event and learn more about Harvest Meals. Raker Supper will be at Narragaugus High School on Sunday, July 29th from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. There is no cost to attend.
More information is available at 207-598-8925.
Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture partners with local organizations like Mano en Mano, to provide free meals to children when school is out for the summer.
