(KNZA)--Hiawatha ACES is gearing up for its 6th year of providing free lunches to local kids.

The non-profit organization’s “ No Summer Hunger” program will kick off Monday ( June 3) in the basement of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office, in Hiawatha, and run through July 26.

Last year, an average of 84 meals were served per day.

The program is co-sponsored by Second Harvest, which provides ready to cook food for volunteers to heat and serve.

The program is open to any child up to the age of 18, and there are no income guidelines. Parents accompanying children will have the option of purchasing a low-cost meal for themselves.

The organization says volunteers are needed to help prep and serve the meals along with cleanup after lunch.  Those interested can sign up through a link on the Hiawatha ACES Facebook page or can phone or text 785-741-5141.
