Marlborough children's lunch program relies on donations

Marlborough – Over 900 bagged lunches were distributed most weeks last year by the Marlborough Children's Summer Lunch Program. Completely run by volunteers with donations, the program fills the gap during summer months for children who receive free or subsidized lunch during the school year. The number of lunches needed this summer is expected to rise, according to Peggy Schwarz Ayres, who founded the program in 2006. "The need is increasing all the time," she said. "More than a third of the children enrolled in Marlborough Public Schools are on the free or reduced lunch program. When school closes, that program closes."
