Meals will be served Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Children must eat onsite, as meals cannot be taken to go, according to federal guidelines.
'We are so excited to be able to continue this program that offers children a hot, nutritious meal every weekday all summer long,' said Kathie Wesolowski, Director, Women's and Children's Community Outreach, UH Rainbow Babies & Children's.
