The St. Louis County Library and Operation Food Search have partnered to provide fresh produce at three library branches now through August.

Produce boxes will be available at the Weber Road Branch of the St. Louis County Library, 4444 Weber Road, on Thursdays starting at 8:30 a.m.

Boxes are distributed curbside in the parking lot, with 50 boxes of produce available each Thursday. There is a limit of one box per family.

Each box will contain approximately 10 to 12 pounds of produce, about the equivalent of 10 meals worth per box. The program will run through Aug. 3.

Other participating branches are the Florissant Valley Branch, 195 N. Florissant Road South, Florissant, 63031; and the Lewis & Clark Branch, 9909 Lewis-Clark Blvd., 63136.

The branches offering produce also provide free lunches for children Monday through Friday from noon to 1 p.m. Six other branches are offering free lunches for children under 18. For a complete list of participating branches and more information about the free summer lunches, visit www.slcl.org/summer-lunches.

The produce boxes are supported by the St. Louis Community Foundation Regional Response Team.
