The city’s Department of Human Services is again sponsoring “School’s Out Café,” a summer meal program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The city is able to serve nearly 400,000 breakfast and lunch meals to students this summer.
The city has recruited, trained and is sponsoring 81 volunteer sites that will serve meals at School’s Out Cafes now through August 8. Anyone 18 years or younger is eligible to eat. In addition, people who have been determined by a state or local educational agency to have a mental or physical disability are also eligible.
To find a meal site near you, call the United Way at 211 or (800) 427-4626.
