CLEVELAND — If your kids need something to eat while they’re out of school for summer break, University Hospitals has announced they are offering free lunch at six different locations throughout the months ahead.

"Children ages 1-18 are eligible to receive a free, healthy bag lunch," UH officials announced Monday in a press release. "Any child is eligible to receive a complimentary meal through the program -- there is no income qualification."

Although registration is not required, the program's rules state children must eat the meals on site and no meals can be taken to go.

These free lunches will be available Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at the following UH locations:
