Summer Meal Sites for McAllen ISD
This summer, McAllen ISD is offering free meals for children ages 1-18. These meals are available to all children, not just McAllen ISD students, ensuring that every child in the community has access to nutritious food throughout the summer months. This initiative is part of our commitment to supporting the health and well-being of our community’s youth, providing them with the sustenance they need to thrive.
The Summer Meal Program is designed to bridge the nutritional gap that can occur when school is out of session. For many families, school meals are a crucial source of daily nutrition for their children. By providing free meals during the summer, we aim to alleviate any food insecurity issues and help children maintain healthy eating habits.
These meal sites are strategically located across the community to ensure easy access for all families. The program offers a variety of nutritious and delicious meals that meet federal nutrition guidelines, ensuring that children receive balanced meals that contribute to their overall health.
Participating in the Summer Meal Program is simple. Families do not need to register or provide any documentation to receive meals. Children can visit any of the meal sites to enjoy a free, healthy meal. This initiative is open to all children in the specified age range, regardless of their school enrollment status, making it an inclusive effort to support the entire community.
In addition to providing meals, some sites may also offer fun activities and opportunities for children to engage with their peers in a safe environment. This can be an excellent way for children to stay active and socially connected during the summer break.
We encourage all families to take advantage of this wonderful program. It’s a great way to ensure that your children receive the nutrition they need to stay healthy and active throughout the summer.
