The end of the school year means the loss of meals for some children in Northeast Iowa. The loss of two meals a day that were once provided as free or reduced cost can present a big challenge to some families in our community.

The Northeast Iowa Food Bank is participating in the Summer Food Service Program. This meal will be provided to all children without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. Meals will be provided, on a first come, first serve basis, at the sites and times as follows:
