Houston Independent School District will be kicking off its Summer Meal Program May 31 at more than 250 area schools. Children ages 1 to 18 can enjoy a free healthy breakfast and lunch from May 31, 2017 through Aug. 4, 2017.

Children do not need to be enrolled in summer school to participate in the program, and no paperwork, registration, or proof of income is required. Adults can also participate by purchasing breakfast for $2.25 and lunch for $3.50.

All HISD meals are nutritionally balanced to ensure children receive the vitamins and nutrients needed to maintain a healthy diet. Last summer, HISD Nutrition Services served more than 1.1 million free meals to Houston-area children.

“We feel it is important that our children continue to have access to healthy meals throughout the summer months,” said Betti Wiggins, HISD’s Officer of Nutrition. “Hunger does not end when the school year does.”

A listing of summer meal site locations, including their breakfast and lunch serving times, is listed below. Or visit, houstonisd.org/freesummermeals for more information about the program and to find times and school locations where meals are being served.
