Through their summer meals program, kids under 18-years-old can get free meals with nutritious foods like milk, fruit and veggies.

Ravens Super Bowl Champion Qadry 'The Missile' Ismail says he would've never made it to the NFL if it weren't for a similar program in North Jersey where he grew up. He talked about the importance of Baltimore County's program.

"To go to a space like Randallstown Library and the other libraries around town, to be able to have a chance to sit and eat breakfast, to sit there and have a lunch, it really does make a big difference," Ismail said.

Meals will be served Monday through Friday. Meal sites will be closed on Tuesday, July 4. All meals must be consumed on site.
