This summer, the Lewisville ISD Child Nutrition department will again provide children 18 years old and younger, or enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old, with nutritious, no-cost summer meals, the department announced this week.
The Summer Food Service Program is a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition program administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture, according to the news release. The free meals offer a source of well-balanced food options for children who rely on school meals.
“All children in LISD and the surrounding areas need good nutrition year-round so they can learn, grow and succeed in life,” said Alberto Garcia, resident RDM of the Child Nutrition Department. “With nearly 2 million food insecure children living in Texas, these well-balanced meals are vital to nourishing young Texans during their summer vacation.”
The summer feeding program begins Monday with over a dozen available locations throughout the district. Families are encouraged to use the following tools to find a meal site anywhere in the state:
- Go to LISD.net/summerfeeding
- Visit the LISD interactive map at bit.ly/LISDsummer2023
- Call 2-1-1 to speak to a live operator
