Partnership leads to free summer lunches for youth

With the help of a federal grant, a partnership between Fulton Public Schools, YMCA of Callaway County and the Fulton Housing Authority has put together a program to provide free lunches for area children this summer.

Through the 2011 Summer Food Program, any registered person aged 18 or younger can receive a free sack lunch Monday through Friday from June 6 to July 29. Lunches will be delivered to the John C. Harris Community Center or the YMCA Summer Camp at Fulton State Hospital.

To help the tornado-stricken people of Dumas and surroundings, donations can be made to the Delta Area Disaster Relief Fund, care of the Delta Area Community Foundation, P.O. Box 894, Dumas, AR, 71639, or through the Arkansas Community Foundation, 700 S. Rock St., Little Rock, AR, 72202.
