Free Summer Meals at Park Ave. Playground
MECHANICVILLE JULY 7- Thirty children arrived at the Park Avenue Playground for free summer lunch. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays through August 15 children 18 and under will receive a free lunch by simply showing up at the playground. This program is administered by the Mechanicville Area Community Services Center through funding by the United Way.
Congressman Paul Tonko was a special guest. He spent time with the MACSC staff and volunteers. Then he spent some time with the children on the swings and the playground merry go round.
