Summer Food Service Program Begins May 31, Free/Reduced Meal Application Opens July 15

The Lakota Local School District, in partnership with the Faith Alliance, is participating in the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program this year. Meals will be provided daily to all children (ages 18 and younger and individuals with disabilities through age 21) - free of charge and regardless of income - beginning May 31 through July 29 (except for July 4). The summer program is funded through the USDA and implemented at no cost to the district.

Summer meals will be distributed at five different locations according to the following schedule:

With the expiration of the USDA’s free meals waiver for all students - regardless of financial qualification - at the end of the 2021-2022 school year, families are reminded to re-apply for free or reduced meal prices. Applications must be submitted on an annual basis and to qualify for next school year, you must submit your free/reduced application AFTER July 11.

Per the USDA standards, all food distributed via the Summer Food Service Program must be consumed on the premises. There is no criteria to participate and pre-registration is not required.
