A Moscow program to address food insecurity among local children will run through mid-September, organizers announced.
Weekend Food for Kids will continue to hand out free bags of food for children between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Sept. 4 and Sept. 11 at Lena Whitmore School, 110 S. Blaine in Moscow.
The program is coordinated by St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse. The weekend bags supplement the Moscow School District’s summertime free weekday lunch program.

Any child who needs food is eligible and there is no limit on the number of children per household who can participate.
