Meet Up and Eat Up offering free student meals this summer. Here are Holland's locations.
Free meals will be available for children in the Holland area throughout the summer again this year.
The annual Meet Up and Eat Up summer meal program will begin June 13 at some locations around Holland, with others opening later this summer. The program allows any child up to age 18, or up to age 26 for students with special needs, to visit and enjoy a free meal.
No registration or prior sign up is required. Meals must be eaten on site. The program is funded at the federal level by the USDA and operated by local schools or community groups.
