Library Spotlight 

 

The Willoughby-Eastlake Public Library is collaborating with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to provide free summer lunches for ages 18 & under. Daily meals are available on weekdays, June 1-August 11, from 1 – 2 pm at the Willowick Public Library. There is no registration. Meals are only available while supplies last and must be consumed at the library. 

 

During the school year, 30 million children receive free and reduced-price lunch. But when school is out, many of the children relying on these school meals go hungry. Summer Meal Programs help close that gap. Summer Meals give children the nutrition they need so they are ready to learn when they return to school.
