No lunches will be offered on June 19, and July 4, which are federal holidays.

Boise Parks and Recreation are seeking volunteers to help hand out lunches. Volunteers must be at least 15 years old to register, and will have to complete an online training before serving lunch.

Those interested in volunteering can sign up online.
