Summer meals offered to youth at local schools
Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to children during the summer months, the Cadott, Cornell and Lake Holcombe school districts, announce the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).
The SFSP, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable.
Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under, at the schools. Persons over 18 years of age, who are determined by a state or local public educational agency, to be mentally or physically disabled, and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year, may receive free meals as well.
For Cadott, their summer meals take place Monday through Friday, June 14 to July 2, with breakfast served at 7:45-8:45 a.m., and lunch from 11-12:30 p.m.
In Cornell, meals will be June 7-18, with breakfast from 7:30-8 a.m., and lunch from 11:30 a.m. to noon.; and June 21-24, with breakfast served 8:30-9 a.m., and lunch from 1212:30 p.m.
