temple — School might be out, but Temple and other school districts have stepped up their game, all to make sure kids who depend on school meals have enough to eat this Summer.
Temple ISD is making a push to feed more kids for Free this summer than ever before.
In 2017, there were five locations that provided free breakfast and lunch. This year, there are nine across the city.
The district said they are prepared to feed 1,500 kids a day and families don’t have to do anything to qualify.
Any kid 18 or under that shows up will get a free healthy meal.
The programs are funded by state and federal grants, but school staff still comes out to work the summer at each site.
A nutritionist at Temple ISD told Channel 6 there are a lot of kids who need help in the city, but they are stepping up to the plate and parents could not be happier.
“It really is a summer saver, it makes sure the children have a good meal,” Temple mom Cassie Edwards said.
Temple is the only district with free summer locations. Belton, Killeen, Copperas Cove, Waco and many other cities have similar programs.
