WEST AFTER SCHOOL CENTER SUMMER LUNCH PROGRAM

The West After School Center will again be serving lunches at nine community sites, beginning June 6. Last year, WASC served over 21,000 lunches during the summer months, and we hope to increase participation and meet the needs of our children.

Lunch will be available from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the following locations:

  Cedar Elementary Playground

East Elementary Playground

Lancaster Club Apartments 180 Sells Rd.

Medill Elementary School Playground

River Valley Apartments

Robert K. Fox Family YMCA

South Elementary Playground

Tallmadge Elementary Playground

West After School Center 

The economic downturn has challenged many families' abilities to adequately feed their children. Help us spread the word that a free lunch is available for children from 2-18 years of age, Monday-Friday at nine locations this summer.

Let's work to feed our kids - and have fun together doing it!

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

The Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland Council will be again providing a summer craft program at the WASC and the East Elementary School summer lunch programs, starting on Friday, June 10, and continuing each Friday until the lunch programs end on August 12. The program will take place at WASC for one hour, between 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.  The East program will be a “Crafts to Go," which will be passed out to children between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.  The children will be able to take the craft home to do on their own. We want to thank this new partner and encourage children to come and enjoy this special opportunity.

 

The West After School Center wants to thank  Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio and its Choice Food Pantry for providing families at all six of our 21st Century CLC’s with bread, bagels and English muffins. They will continue to support us in the coming weeks and months.

 
 

The West After School Center is a provider for the Ohio Benefit Bank. If you are in need of assistance related to childcare, food, health coverage or home energy needs, please call the WASC at 653-5678 and set up an appointment to do a quick check to see if you might qualify for help.
