Free meals for kids this summer

The Minneapolis Public Schools will continue its free meal program for all youth ages 18 and under throughout this summer. Food boxes containing a week’s worth of meals will be available for pick up at select locations.

Food boxes contain a week’s worth of breakfasts, lunches and snacks that meet Minneapolis Public Schools Culinary & Wellness Services’ high standards for nutrition and quality ingredients. In every box, children will find school favorites, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables. Milk is offered on the side.

Currently, families can pick up free food and snack boxes for their children Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at six sites across Minneapolis – the closest one in Camden is Henry High School. Daily meals will also be served at various community sites, and home delivery will be available for qualifying families. For more info visit cws.mpls.k12.mn.us/food_boxes.html.
