Summer Food Program feeds kids for free

With summer right around the corner, it’s time to think about keeping children healthy while school is out.

Maricopa Unified School District provides free meals to children during the summer regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.

This summer, meals will be served at the schools listed below.  There are no income requirements or registration.  Any child under age 18 may come to eat.  For more information, contact Suzette Moe, director of Child Food and Nutrition Programs at 520-568-5100, ext. 1034.

Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture partners with local organizations like MUSD to provide free meals to children when school is out for the summer.  For more information about the national Summer Food Service Program, visit http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/summer.
