Free Summer Meals at Libraries for Prince George’s County Youth

Largo, MD - As part of ongoing efforts to provide access to healthy meals for children in our community, the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System (PGCMLS) will offer free summer meals on weekdays at selected locations from June 27 to August 12, while supplies last. Children up to 18 years of age are eligible to participate in the program, regardless of the type of school they attend.

“The Library is proud to continue its free summer meal program, which started in 2014 and helps address the significant food insecurity in the community,” said Roberta Phillips, CEO. “Data available from the newly released Capital Area Food Bank Hunger Report shows that 48% of Prince George’s County residents have been affected by food insecurity. PGCMLS is committed to providing these essential resources to local children and complement services provided by Prince George’s County Public Schools.”
