OFS Partnering with libraries to feed kids after school

We are partnering with some local libraries to make sure children have nutritious snacks to keep their brains sharp. Operation Food Search has teamed up with the public library systems in St. Louis and St. Louis County to provide free after-school meals throughout the school year as part of its AfterSchool ReFuel program. Nine libraries across the city and county will provide “super snacks” for children free of charge starting Aug. 18.
