Free Food For Kids In MA, Here's Where: The Week In Food

MASSACHUSETTS — Welcome to Patch's weekly round up of food and restaurant news in Massachusetts, where we review openings, closings and more in the state's dining scene.

The top story this week is the return of a statewide summer program offering free breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner to any kid under 18. The program aims to keep kids fed while school is out for summer, and there are hundreds of sites across the state, with more coming online later in July.

Check out the Project Bread map to find sites near you.
