RADFORD, Va. – Food scarcity is a problem for many local families, especially during the summer months when their children cannot rely on free or reduced breakfasts and lunches at school. To help alleviate this issue, Radford is kicking off its a summer food service program next week.
There will be an event to celebrate the kickoff, where families can enjoy a free hot dog dinner on Thursday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Belle Heth Elementary School. There will be games and face painting, too.
