HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Food distribution organization One Generation Away has partnered with Downtown Huntsville Inc. and Huntsville City Schools for a food distribution event on Saturday, June 19.
"During the summer months, hundreds of children are assisted with meals while parents are at work and/or need help providing for them, however, there are still gaps of time where the kids in our neighborhoods go without and we want to do something about it," said One Generation Away.
The distribution will take place at the Boy Scouts America Crew, Pack and Troop 400 parking lot at 426 Dallas Avenue from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.
The groups will distribute food while supplies last

Madison County Schools is working to make sure that kids don't go hungry this summer.
The district will provide breakfast and lunch this summer to students in need. Starting on June 2, breakfast and lunch will be served daily to students attending in-school camps. Lunch will also be served curbside during the listed lunch times. Curbside pick up will include lunch and breakfast for the following day.
The Madison County School System will provide these meals at nearly two dozen locations around the county with help from the USDA and its Summer Food Service Program. Parents and caregivers who need more information are welcome to visit mcssk12.org or they can contact their local school regarding dates and times. MCSS says that the Program was created to ensure that children receive nutritious meals during summer vacation when they do not have access to school breakfast and lunch.
