Winchester Got Lunch provides free healthy lunches during the summer to Winchester students who typically receive subsidized lunches during the school year.  

In the summer of 2012, Winchester Got Lunch volunteers packed weekly lunch bags and delivered over 6,000 meals to the 118 students in the program. 

This summer, the same service will be provided with even more nutritious and fresh foods. Bags will be delivered on Monday mornings, July 1 through Aug. 26, and provide enough food for five lunches, along with a $5 gift card for dairy products.
