Action Inc.

The Christmas Season in the Mining City is synonymous with the Uptown Christmas Stroll, the extensive Uptown decorations, the old Meaderville Christmas Display now at home just off Grand Avenue at the Racetrack VFD and, of course, gift giving with friends and family. Unfortunately, for many here Butte the Christmas Season means a tight or nonexistent budget being stretched to its' maximum with higher energy bills, rising food costs and winter clothing.

No child in the Mining City should go hungry, not even during the summer months when school is in session. Unfortunately, for many Butte youngsters, the meals that they receive at school are the primary, if not only, meals that they will get to enjoy, if that is even the proper term. Again, this summer starting on Monday, June 17th, Action Inc. in conjunction with the USDA's Summer Food Service Program will address this problem by providing free meals to those 18 years of age and younger at several locations throughout town.

Action Inc. recognizes that many of our citizens, particularly our youth, are living in poverty and many families rely on free meals that are served to their kids while school is in session. Unfortunately, that need persists when school is out as well and again this summer, Action Inc. will have several sites around town where kids can get a free meal.
