IDEA Public Schools’ Child Nutrition Program is announced Wednesday that they will be serving free meals during the summer to any child in the community aged 18 years and younger from May 31 through July 22, whether they are an IDEA student or not, a news release said.
The free meals are part of IDEA’s commitment to local communities and thanks to the Texas Department of Agriculture’s (TDA) Seamless Summer Option (SSO). The SSO was created to ensure that children, especially in low-income areas, continue to receive nutritious meals during summer, the release detailed.
The summer meals will include breakfast and lunch and must be eaten in the cafeteria of any IDEA campus Monday through Friday. Breakfast will be served from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and lunch will be served from 10 a.m. to noon. Food service will be closed on federal holidays and from June 27 through July 1.
Families seeking more information regarding summer meals on campus may contact the cafeteria manager at any IDEA campus.
