March for Meals program distributes free food to seniors

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – Tuesday was the kickoff for the city’s new March for Meals program.

The program is designed to provide a week’s worth of frozen meals for those age 60 and older while the city responds to concerns over COVID-19.

Meals will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from 10 a.m. until noon. The meals will be limited to one box per person and up to five frozen meals per week.

The drive-thru meal program moves to a different community center each weekday.

• Mondays – New site being reviewed and will be announced once confirmed
• Tuesdays – Beechmont Community Center (205 Wellington Avenue, 40214)
• Wednesdays – Sun Valley Community Center (6505 Bethany Lane, 40272) and East Government Center (200 Juneau Drive, 40243)
• Thursdays – Slaughter Elementary School (3805 Fern Valley Rd., Louisville, 40219)
• Fridays – Arthur S Kling Center (219 W. Ormsby Ave., 40203)

Organizers say the idea is to keep seniors fed while keeping them away from crowded grocery stores.
