Enjoy FREE Lunch on Weekdays!

Free lunch is available on the top floor of the Meadville Public Library for all children and teens from age 2 to 18 (and for those with disabilities 21 and under), and accompanying adults. The Caterpillar Cafe lunch program runs from June 9 - August 8, and lunch is served every weekday from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Lunches must be eaten on site. Throughout the summer we'll have community partners (Crawford County Drug & Alcohol Executive Commission, Crawford County Assistance Office, & more!) in the space connecting folks to local resources while hosting fun activities.

Meals are generously prepared by the Meadville YMCA. We also want to give a HUGE thanks to Flick's TV & Appliance for donating a fridge for the expansion of the lunch program.

Adventure awaits! Explore our calendar of fun and free summer events. Click HERE for a full list of summer programming.
