The Watertown area PACH (People Against Child Hunger) Program works with school staff to provide complimentary snacks and meals to students who may need an additional food resource over weekends during the school year.
The local program began this month with roughly 90 meals being packed on Thursday evenings and distributed to Watertown students each Friday.
The pilot project will proceed through this school year. This fall PACH plans to resume for the entire 2011-2012 school year.
The Watertown Community Foundation contributed $3,000 to the pilot project. Thank you donors!
