Dallas ISD Food and Child Nutrition Services Department has officially kicked off its summer meals program.
The summer meal program provides healthy, no-cost summer meals for children 18 and younger and enrolled students up to 21 years old with disabilities. The Summer Food Service Program is a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition program administered in the Lone Star State by the Texas Department of Agriculture. For children who rely on school meals during the academic year, these meals offer a source of good nutrition for lunch and breakfast while school is out for the long summer vacation.
“It’s communities and organizations like Dallas ISD and United Way of Metropolitan Dallas that really bring communities together to make sure all children in the area have access to the meals they need during the summer,” said Eddie Longoria, director of special nutrition programs at USDA.
