Winchester Got Lunch provides nourishing lunches during the summer for students who typically rely on the federally subsidized school-year lunch program.  WGL is partnering for the second summer with Whole Foods Market in Woburn, MA.  Applications are still being accepted for summer 2014 and are available at winchestergotlunch.org.
