North East Community Center Holding 'Lunch Box' Drop Offs

MILLERTON, N.Y. -- During the summer a lot of local children go without food because the school kitchens where they are provided a free breakfast and lunch during the school year are closed. To help make sure those children get fed, the North East Community Center in Millerton provides free breakfast and lunches through its lunch box program at several locations throughout the area.
