Free Summer Lunch Program
The City of Alexandria is making sure every child has the chance to receive a meal. Meals will be distributed at 4 different locations for the rest of the month. This is an extension of the Rapides Parish School Board Feeding Program. Organizer tells people to come out.
“This is a free meal and a great opportunity to take advantage of. It is first come first serve as far as materials and food that we have . We want everybody to come out get the meals, bring their kids. If they’re not able to bring their kids, we can help them out with that as well.” – Sakena Cannon
