PROGRAMS



FREE SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM

During the summer, when kids are out of school, we know it can be very difficult for you to provide consistent nutritious meals for your family. St. Joseph’s recognizes this challenge, and offers free lunches to local children at several different sites around Grand Forks and East Grand Forks throughout June and July every year. Children may come every day and receive free lunches, no questions asked. They must only comply with a few program rules:

  1. You must eat your meal on site.
  2. You must take at least 3 of the 5 items.
  3. Be respectful, share, use kind language, & listen to instructions.
  4. You must be 18 years old or younger.
In addition to providing lunch, our program also teaches children about nutrition, wellness, and healthy food choices.
