In Southern Oregon, Curry Public Library offers free lunches for kids

Kids can get free lunches through the Central Curry School District in Gold Beach even during the summer. But workers at the Curry Public Library noticed that some kids were missing out and decided to step in. Throughout the summer, the library offers free sack lunches to children. The program began last year and recently has expanded. We learn more about the service and why it’s needed from Bronwyn Greathead, a library employee and program coordinator for ASCEND, a collaboration between the library and the Central Curry School District.
