(SALEM, Ore.) - When schools close for spring break, March 24-28, school lunch programs take a vacation too.

Marion-Polk Food Share has been helping fill that gap by providing lunch service in high-need locations around the two county area.

Through a partnership with Salem/Keizer Schools and other local school districts, Boys & Girls Club of Salem, Marion and Polk Counties, Salem Housing Authority and Sodexho USA, close to 7,000 lunches were served to area children in high-needs areas of the city in 2007.

This year, there will be thirty-three lunch sites, providing approximately 8,000 spring break lunches as part of Food Share’s No Hungry Child program.

There will be sites in Salem, Keizer, Silverton, Scotts Mills, Mt. Angel, Aumsville, Hubbard, Woodburn, Dallas, Monmouth, Independence and Grand Ronde.

Food Share relies on the generous support of the community to help fund these lunches, provide the volunteers, and donate new or “gently used” children’s books to be distributed to the kids with the lunches that week.

Any child needing lunch during Spring Break between the ages of 1 and 18 qualify. Lunch is served from noon to 12:30 p.m.
