Summer Feeding Program

Attention, everyone! We are pleased to announce the launch of our Summer Feeding Program, which aims to ensure that no child goes hungry during the summer months. 

 🌞🍽️ Announcing the summer food program! 🌞🍽️

 📅 Program duration: 

The Grab & Go summer meal program runs from June 5, 2023, to July 20, 2023, where parents may pick up multi-day meals. Additionally, students attending enrichment programs at schools will receive breakfast and lunch meals onsite, as well as weekend meal boxes, and are only eligible for Grab & Go meal pick-ups on certain days.  We want to ensure our community's children have nutritious meals during this time.  We will have two meal pickups per week. 

📍 Locations: 

We have designated several convenient places in all areas of the parish where parents can pick up grab-and-go meals. Monday & Wednesday meal pickups include North Central High, Port Barre Headstart, Eunice High, and Leonville Head Start. Tuesday & Thursday meal pickups include Washington Head Start, Sunset Middle School, Lawtell Elementary School, and Opelousas Junior High School.

  ⏰ Operating hours: 

Program times vary by location.  Please refer to our website's Summer Feeding Program page,  https://www.slpsb.org/page/summer-feeding-program, for details.

  🥪 Nutritious foods: 

 Our team of nutritionists has created a menu that concentrates on balanced and healthy meals. We believe that a healthy diet is essential for their growth and well-being. 

💚 Free: 

We are pleased to announce that all meals in the Summer Feeding Program are free. Our goal is to remove any financial barriers that may prevent children from receiving nutritious food during the summer holidays. 

 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who can participate: 

 The program is open to all children eighteen and under or disabled children 19 and over enrolled in public or private school, regardless of their socio-economic background or place of residence. We want to ensure that all children in our community benefit from this initiative.
