    The Hunger Coalition reported in a press release that “with more than 450 children living in poverty in Blaine County and hundreds of local families struggling to make ends meet, The Lunch Connection ensures our children have access to the nutrition they need. With the help of volunteers and staff, free nourishing meals are prepared at Woodside Elementary School for local children experiencing hunger or family crisis.”
    Accompanying adults may purchase a meal at nominal cost.
