This summer, the Bedford Library is excited to announce a fantastic opportunity for children in the community. From Monday through Friday from 12:00-1:00pm, the library is collaborating with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to provide free, healthy lunches at select branches. This initiative is part of the library’s ongoing commitment to support the well-being and health of young residents.

The Summer Lunch program, running from June 3rd through August 9th, at Bedford Library is open to all children ages 18 and younger, ensuring that every child has access to nutritious meals during the summer months. By partnering with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, the Bedford Library is able to offer a variety of healthy food options that cater to the dietary needs and preferences of children. This initiative not only promotes physical health but also fosters a sense of community and support among the youth.

The library is proud to note that the USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer, ensuring that the program is accessible to all children without discrimination. Families are encouraged to take advantage of this valuable resource and join in making this summer a healthy and happy one for the kids.
