MSDE offers free summer meals to kids
BALTIMORE, MD—The Maryland State Department of Education is offering free meals to kids this summer. The federal government funded program aims to make sure kids have access to healthy food during the break. This summer, schools, libraries, and recreation centers will offer free breakfast and lunch to students under the age of 18. No ID is required and service days and times may vary depending on the location. “Many families rely on the National School Lunch Program to provide healthy and nutritious meals,” said Dr. Carey M. Wright, State Superintendent of Schools. “Programs that provide free meals for Maryland families when school is not in session ensure that students remain ready to learn all year long.” Agencies that sponsor residential camps, closed school sites, and pickup meal sites will contact participants about the availability of free meals and whether an application is needed.
