We understand that some of our families rely on the availability of school meals for proper nourishment. In order to help with this, Reading School District-Reading, Pa., Reading Recreation Commission, Olivet Boys & Girls Club and Helping Harvest are providing grab-and-go meals and family food pantry boxes. Thank you to Centro Hispano Daniel Torres and United Way of Berks County for assisting with these efforts.

Mondays: May 4, May 11 and May 18, June 1, June 8 and June 15
