Keene Public Library has provided a summer lunch program for the last decade. Last year we served nearly 2,000 meals! 

This year, the USDA grant was unable to provide meals in our region, so we are looking to our community to help. The Community Kitchen and Monadnock Understands Childhood Hunger are helping us to keep the summer lunches running. We're asking you to donate what you can using the link below for NH Gives. You donation will be matched for 24 hours.
