Free meals and snacks are available for Oklahoma children all summer through the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma's Summer Feeding Program.
“When school releases for summer, thousands of children lose access to the nutritious meals they count on. The Regional Food Bank's Summer Feeding Program helps ensure no child has to worry where their next meal will come from,' said Stacy Dykstra, chief executive officer of the Regional Food Bank. 'Good nutrition is essential not just for healthy bodies, but for bright futures.”
The Summer Feeding Program officially kicks off on Monday, June 2 and runs through Friday, Aug. 8. Nearly 130 sites will distribute free meals and snacks to children aged 18 and under.
Summer Feeding meals are offered as congregate meals, meaning the meals must be consumed on-site, or as grab and go, where the meal can be taken home or consumed off-site, depending on the location.
In Atoka County, meals and snacks are available at the following sites: Atoka First Methodist Church (Grab and Go) 145 W. First St. Atoka Mondays: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
