   Linda Flatt is director of the “Lunch Box” summer food program for children in Geneseo.  A nutritious sack lunch is served to young people from ages four to 18 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  The program began June 2 and will conclude on Friday, Aug. 8, at the Geneseo Community Center, 541 East North St.  Entrance to the lunch site should be made through the door on the west side of the building.  “There is no need for kids to sign up in advance, we just want them to show up,” Linda Flatt said.  In an effort to eliminate “food shaming,” all young people in the community are welcome.  The program is funded with local grant money.  For questions call 309-945-3600.    Photo by Claudia Loucks
