Free lunch program helps benefits area youngsters
Free lunches for kids are available at Ada War Memorial Park from noon to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Friday is Water Day/Pizza Day. Water fun that day includes slip and slide, water balloons, and water guns.
Calvin Fisher heads up the program for its sponsor, ReStore.
This is not government run, so there is not financial eligibility requirements to get the free meal.
Fisher reports that youth from 2 to 15 years of age have attended. The program began on June 1.The highest number of diners on any one day was 65. The free meals for kids will run until Aug. 21.
Fisher said that anyone who wants to volunteer to help is welcome. (Monty Siekerman)
