The city of Marietta will administer the Summer Food Service Program for children, starting June 1.
This federal program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help lower income children receive free nutritious meals during summer vacation when they do not have access to school meals.
Most of Marietta’s participating locations will feed children from June 1 to July 29, but some programs end earlier than July 29.
