Children in Pella have access to a free sack-lunch this summer.
The lunches from Second Reformed Church are available every Monday through Friday of summer vacation from noon to 12:30 pm starting this Monday. Lori Ellingson with Second Reformed says that the church community saw a need in the community, and have since helped provide and serve the meals. She says last year an average of 40 kids a day took advantage of the service. The lunches will be distributed at the gazebo by the Burbank Apartments at 408 East 13th Street in Pella free of charge. To volunteer or donate to the program, contact the Second Reformed Church.
