GAINESVILLE - Nutritionally-balanced breakfasts and lunches will be provided to all children 18 years old and younger at no charge. The Summer Food Service Program, offered nationally through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is available in geographical areas of need, defined as those areas where 50 percent or more of the children qualify for free and reduced-price meals during the school year. However, children do not have to be eligible for free and reduced-price meals to participate in the summer program, nor must they be enrolled in a participating school. Parents and students can simply come to the school during the serving times and check in.
