Healthy lunches are served outdoors at the pavilion weather permitting or in the HOA building on bad weather days.

Frederick Community Action Agency’s summer food service program prepares the food provided through the USDA and it is served by volunteers in participating SOWAC Churches. When schools are out and the free school lunch program is not available over 70% of children in the local community are at risk for hunger in the summer months. in 2017 – over 3,000 lunches were served locally.
