The Highline School District will be offering up free meals all summer long, including both breakfast and lunch at 13 different locations, most beginning on Monday, July 6th.
The district has been offering free summer meals for at least the last ten years, and the USDA-funded program has expanded significantly to include community sites as well as schools.
“Based on the estimation from our sites, we may serve up to 1,000 breakfasts and 2,000 lunches plus offer snacks to some sites,” said Brianna Smith, RD, Nutrition Services Manager.
Who is served by the Summer Food Service Program?
- All children 18 years and younger are eligible for the Summer Food Service Program. There is no registration or fee.
- All children are welcome to eat a meal at summer school sites, even if they are not enrolled in a summer program.
- The meal must be eaten at the site and be finished within 15 minutes of the final serving time.
Who pays for it?
The Summer Food Service Program is a federally funded child nutrition program that feeds children nutritious meals during the summertime when school is out and children don’t have access to school meals. It was created to ensure that children in low-income areas could continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations. Funding for the Summer Food Service Program is provided with federal dollars and is sufficient to meet expenses related to sponsorship of the program.
What is the purpose of the program?
Clearly, the nutritional needs of large numbers of children who depend on school meals during the school year are not being met in the summer. Good nutrition is essential for learning.
How are site locations determined?
Service sites for the Summer Food Service Program are determined based on:
- Eligibility criteria.
- Interest and need at the school building level.
- Interest and need at community centers.
