QISD plans free summer meals

Posted

This summer, Quitman ISD will connect children 18 and younger and enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old with healthy, no cost summer meals.

The Summer Food Service Program is a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition program administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture. For the children who rely on school meals during the academic year, these meals offer a source of good nutrition when school is out for the long summer vacation. 

“Quitman children need good nutrition year-round so they can learn, grow and succeed in life,” said Shannon Almand, director of Child Nutrition. “These healthy meals are vital to nourishing young Texans during the summer vacation.” 

Breakfast and lunch will be offered at the JH/HS campus starting June 6. Monday-Thursday each week breakfast will be served from 8-8:30 a.m. and lunch will be served from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Enter the cafeteria through the rear patio doors behind the cafeteria.
