The Church of Holy Trinity will be serving breakfast between 10am and 11am at 381 Main Street. Its lunches will take place between 11:30am and 1pm. Meanwhile, Maplewood Terrace Community Center will be serving snacks from 10-10:30am, with its lunches starting at 11:30am and running until 12:30pm. Also, Traverse Square Community Room will offer snacks from 10-11am, and its lunches will commence at noon and run up to 1pm.
Funding for the Summer Food Service Program is provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service and administered by the Connecticut State Department of Education. The Community Renewal Team will prepare the food for each location.
