A sign indicates the free lunch program at Taneytown Branch Library on Tuesday, June 20, 2023. Carroll County Public Library’s Taneytown Branch is partnering with Carroll County Public Schools and the US Department of Agriculture to provide free summer meals for kids and teens, on weekdays at noon, through August 25. 
Carroll County's Summer Food Service Program gave children about 7,600 free meals in 2023 and about 75,000 in 2024. This summer, the program is expected to give out even more free meals, possibly the most in program history, due to substantial changes to the program's reach.
