Summer meals for kids start June 5
星空传媒鈥檚 summer feeding program starts next week, Monday, June 5.
This summer, 星空传媒 is connecting children 18 and younger, along with enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old, with healthy, no-cost summer meals. For children who rely on school meals during the academic year, these meals offer a source of good nutrition when school is out for the long summer vacation.
鈥淎rlington children need good nutrition year-round to learn, grow and succeed,鈥 said David Lewis, 星空传媒 executive director of food and nutrition services. 鈥淲ith nearly 2 million food insecure children living in Texas, these healthy meals are vital to nourishing young Texans during the summer vacation.鈥
Breakfast and lunch will be provided on weekdays starting Monday, June 5, through June 30 at various elementary and junior high school locations. High schools will serve meals from June 5 through July 28.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition program administered in Texas by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA).
