There are more than 530 sites across the state that offer free feeding programs to children. These are located in safe, open locations like parks and playgrounds and there are often other activities offered in addition to the food, such as the BookCycle, operated by the Longmont public library, which gives out books to children at the feeding program in Longmont’s Kanemoto Park. Free meals are served to children Monday through Friday 11.30am-12.15pm.
