M-DCPS Provides Nutritious Meals To Students During The Summer

MIAMI – Miami-Dade County Public Schools will be sponsoring the Food Service Summer Program for Children in a number of eligible schools during summer school, from June 22, 2010 through July 20, 2010. Several schools may have extended sessions.

The program is similar to the National School Lunch Program. It provides nutritionally balanced meals to children regardless of race, color, sex, disability, age or national origin, during the summer. All children 18 years old and younger are eligible for a lunch and/or breakfast at no charge. There will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against by any USDA-related activity, should write or call immediately to:

call (800) 795-3272 or (202) 720-6382 (TTY)

The programs are approved for geographical areas of need, or where one-half of the children qualify for free or reduced price meals during the school year. For specific details and dates of operation, please contact your neighborhood school.

Attached is the list of Miami Dade County Public Schools’ summer centers that will operate the Summer Food Service Program for Children from June, July and August. For individual school’s dates, please contact each school.
