Shreve Memorial Library is partnering again with the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana to offer the Summer Feeding Program at select Shreve Memorial Library branches. 

Children up to age 18 will receive free meals as part of the Food Bank’s Summer Food Service Program, a program that provides nutritional lunches for hungry children who have no access to free food when school is not in session during the summer months. 

The Summer Feeding Program at Shreve Memorial Library will begin Thursday, June 1 and continue through Monday, July 31.

Meals will be provided free of charge by the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana on the following days and times at the Shreve Memorial Library branches listed below. 

All meals must be eaten at the library and cannot be taken to go.
