The state Department of Education announced that 19 91直播 Island schools will offer free summer meals to children 18 and younger, starting June 9 through July 17.

Children do not need to be enrolled in public school to participate.

Meals are available Monday through Friday through the USDA’s Seamless Summer Option (SSO) program.

Breakfasts will be served from 7:15 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and lunches are from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

There will be no meal service on the June 11 (Kamehameha Day) and July 3 (Independence Day, observed).

The SSO program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and was established to ensure that children continue to receive nutritious meals during the summer. Parents may call their nearest participating school directly for details.

“Free summer meals give every child access to quality nutrition during the summer break so they can return to school nourished, focused and ready to learn,” Superintendent Keith Hayashi said in a press release. “Our dedicated cafeteria teams will be working hard to ensure children across 91直播 stay healthy this summer, and we encourage all families to take advantage of these free meals.”

All meals must be eaten on campus — no grab-and-go options are available.

Children do not have to be enrolled at a participating school to be served, and meals will consist of solid foods. For special diet accommodations, email specialdiets@k12.hi.us with as much detail as possible.
