SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAM During Summer School, Vacation, we offer a hot meal to all children up to the age of 18 years old. We provide this lunch, Monday through Friday, from 11:00AM until 12:30 PM.
This service was created to provide specifically for those children who are on the free School Lunch Program during the school year that would otherwise not receive a meal.
Though this is our desire, all children are welcome. This past summer we served, on average, 20 - 60 children a day.
Free School Supplies are given out to the children who
attend the summer feeding program.
