Food for Kids Program

COS is working with RSU 21 and the 3 Town Social Services Offices to provide nutritious food for children when school lunch and breakfast are unavailable on weekends, school holidays, and summer break.  

Typical food items include breakfast items, sandwich items, soups & stews, canned meats, tuna & vegetables, pasta, juice & drinks, snacks & desserts, and breads. 

COS volunteers pack bags which will be made available for pickup by families. 

Please complete the COS Food4Kids Application or contact your town's general assistance administrator if you need help completing the form.
