Summer Food Service Program announces locations and hours for 2012
SNHS Summer Food Service Program: Free meals for youth 18 and under!
Youth age 18 and under will enjoy free meals again this summer through the Summer Food Service Program coordinated by Southern New Hampshire Services in four New Hampshire counties.
Over 50 sites located in 11 cities or towns in Hillsborough, Rockingham, Strafford and Carroll Counties will provide free meals to local youth. All meals are prepared following USDA guidelines and unitized for each individual child.
Meals are available at open site locations for the duration of school summer break or during structured summer programming. Breakfast, Lunch and Supper meals are available at the designated locations.
The program is designed to ensure that low-income youth continue to receive healthy meals during the summer in those areas where 50% or more of the school children receive free or reduced lunches.
There are no income requirements or registration. Any child 18 and under may come to eat.
Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture partners with local organizations like Southern New Hampshire Services to provide free meals to children when school is out for the summer.
