St. Luke’s offering children free summer lunches

For the seventh consecutive year, the St. Luke’s Summer Meals Program is providing free lunches in Allentown and Quakertown.

St. Luke’s Community Health Department launched the Summer Meals program in response to the Network’s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), which showed that more than half of students in the Allentown and Quakertown Community school districts are eligible for free and reduced meals during the academic year.

“At St. Luke’s University Health Network, we believe that no child should suffer the consequences of hunger,” says Bill Moyer, St. Luke’s West Region President. “Ensuring that every child has the nourishment they need to grow strong and stay healthy is fundamental to our commitment to community health.”

In Allentown, free grab-and-go meals can be picked up at Star Community Health’s Sigal Center at 11:30 am Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays through Aug. 21.

The Summer Meals Program in Allentown is supported by Hatzel & Buehler, Inc., formerly known as West Side Hammer Electric.

Penn Community Bank has invested in St. Luke’s Quakertown Summer Meals since the program began.

St. Luke’s is also supporting the Summer Meals Program in the Upper Perkiomen School District provided by The Open Link with weekly Community Supported Agriculture) shares through the summer.
