🍎 Last week for Mission Nutrition!

Summer has flown by, and our Youth Summer Food Giveaways are wrapping up this week. Families still have one more chance to pick up free meal bundles for kids and teens ages 18 and under at locations throughout Saginaw County.

Meal bundles are free to the first 50 youth at each location, and parents may pick up meals for their children—they do not need to be present.

💚 If Mission Nutrition has been part of your family’s summer, thank you for joining us! Be sure to stop by your location one last time this week.

Check the flyer for locations, days, and pickup times.
