📢🍎 SUMMER MEAL PROGRAM EXPANSION! 🍎📢
The Blackwell Public Library is excited to share some great news!
Beginning Wednesday, June 24, our FREE Summer Meal Box Program will expand to better serve local families.
Thanks to our partners, we will now receive 200 meal boxes each week — double our previous allotment of 100 boxes — through the remainder of the program on July 29.
Our program will be held as usual (100 boxes; 10:30 - 11:30) on June 17.
To accommodate the increased distribution, we are also extending pickup hours effective June 24.
✅ New Pickup Time: 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
✅ Every Wednesday through July 29
✅ Drive-thru pickup
✅ One meal box per child (ages 18 and under)
Each box contains a week's worth of shelf-stable meals for children and teens.
📍 Pickup Location: The alley between the Blackwell Public Library and the Top of Oklahoma Historical Society Museum.
🚗 Traffic Instructions: Please line up along 1st Street, turn onto Padon Avenue, and then enter the alley for pickup.
A parent or guardian must be present to pick up meal boxes, but children do not need to be in the vehicle.
Meal boxes are available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
We are grateful to Hunger Free Oklahoma and the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma for helping us provide this important resource to children and families throughout our community.
Please help us spread the word so more families can benefit from this program this summer.
