The 2026 Free Kids Meals program at Sully’s in Metropolis officially kicked off its summer run this past Saturday, May 30, bringing in a strong turnout from the local community. Volunteers and staff successfully prepared and distributed a total of 127 meals to area children on day one.
Organizers noted a great turnout of local volunteers who stepped up to help assemble and distribute the food, along with several community donations that helped get the 2026 season off to a smooth start.
