McAllen ISD and the Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty will host a Keep Summer Going celebration to raise awareness about free summer meals for children and teens.
The event is scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, July 16, at the McAllen Public Library, 4001 N. 23rd St. in McAllen.
The summer meals program provides free meals to children and teens ages 18 and younger at schools, churches, recreation centers, parks, libraries and other community locations.
Children do not need to be enrolled in school to participate. Families do not need to complete registration, paperwork or provide proof of income.
The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and operated locally by McAllen ISD. Families can find nearby summer meal sites by visiting summerfood.org or calling 211.
