Gilbert Public Schools offering free summer meals

With soaring inflation, increased housing costs, and rising gasoline prices, families’ food budgets are strained.  In order to help children who may experience food insecurity during the summer months while school is out of session, Gilbert Public Schools participates in the USDA Summer Food Service Program.

Four school locations within Gilbert Public Schools boundaries have been qualified to provide meals. Children may participate no matter where they live and they do not need to register.

One free breakfast and one free lunch to children 18 years old and younger will be offered at the following school sites this summer:
