Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) 2015 FREE Summer Meal Service for Children
Jefferson County Public Schools is participating in the USDA Summer Food Service Program. All children 18 years old and younger, regardless of income, will be provided a meal without charge throughout the summer. Nutritious meals will be available at open school sites throughout the city, as well as several café bus stops. Click here for dates, times and locations where meals will be provided.
According to the USDA, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) was developed to ensure that low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session. Many families receive free lunches for their children throughout the school year. The extra expense of lunches in the summer can be a budget-buster for families who are struggling to make ends meet. This summer, USDA expects to serve more than 200 million free meals to children at approved SFSP sites across the country.
