Local area schools are again participating and offering free summer meals for children under 18 in the district. Through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Sun Meals program, districts can provide meals at no cost either as an eat-on-site or meals-to-go. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack says, “Nearly 30 million children participate in USDA’s School breakfast and lunch programs on an average school day, but when school is out, kids lose access to those vital meals. USDA’s SUN programs offer more options for families to conveniently access the essential nutrition children need to thrive, learn, and grow during summer and beyond.” Both on-site and to-go meals will start at the beginning of June and last until the end of July or the beginning of August. Only the student, parent or guardian is allowed to pick up meals to go.
