The New Milford Board of Education, Mayor's office, Loaves and Fishes and others have partnered for a Summer Lunch program. Board of Ed members say 22-percent of New Milford students are on free and reduced lunch, while another 22-percent are slightly over the threshold, but still in need. The partnership came up out of a concern that children would not get the one meal a day they can count on during the school year. New Milford Social Services, New Milford Youth Agency, New Milford Hospital, The Community Culinary School, The New Milford Clergy Association, The United Way of Greater New Milford and MVP-SOS are helping to set up the program, which will start July 2nd.
