Santa Fe school children on free or reduced-price lunch programs won't be without during their summer break thanks to a new program.
The Lunch Box Express will begin delivering free sack lunches Monday to three mobile home communities on Santa Fe's south side.
The Food Depot, a nonprofit food bank that serves nine counties in northern New Mexico, is delivering the food on a Santa Fe Public Schools bus.
Each sack will contain nonperishable food, fresh produce and cold milk.
Organizers say they expect to feed at least 50 children at each site.
The program is modeled after one in Denver.
It will run until Aug. 14.
