Area students are getting their summer meal delivery with a little side of excitement, courtesy of the Machias Police Department. Two days a week, Machias police officers collect meals from the kitchen of Rose M. Gaffney Elementary School (RMG) and deliver them to local families, much to the delight of the young people who will be eating them.

The blue delivery service started when Machias officer Wayde Carter learned the school could not offer delivery to people who cannot pick up meals during the summer months.
