As schools break for summer, many families are left wondering how they’ll keep their children nourished without access to daily school meals. To help bridge that gap, the Summer BreakSpot program—funded by the USDA—is stepping in once again to ensure no child goes hungry during the summer months.
This statewide initiative provides free, nutritious meals to children 18 and under at approved locations across Florida. Participating sites can offer up to two meals per day at no cost, giving families one less thing to worry about while school is out.
Meal sites are located in schools, parks, libraries, and churches, and offer breakfasts, lunches, snacks or supper. There are sites available for Osceola County including 31 sites in Kissimmee, 9 sites in St. Cloud, 13 sites in Poinciana. The meal site locator allows you to type in your city and the map will provide the sites available within 5 miles of your location. Once you find the location of the site on the map, click the location’s name and information will be provided on which times and dates the meals will be available.
According to the Summer BreakSpot website, “At almost all sites, there is no application necessary and any child 18 or younger can simply come during meal times to receive a meal.”
To find a location near you follow the following steps:
Summer BreakSpot is making a Positive Difference in Osceola County by ensuring that every child in Florida has healthy food to eat during the summer break. For more information visit SummerBreakSpot.org.
