The City of Lake Charles Summer Food Service Program is now accepting applications from eligible organizations to serve as program sites for the 2019 Summer Food Service Program, which provides healthy meals to children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, during the summer months when school is not in session.  The program runs June 3 through July 26, 2019.

 

The federally-funded program is administered on behalf of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the state’s education department.  Any child aged 18 or younger, or anyone over the age of 18 who is determined by a state or local educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who participates during the school year in a public or private non-profit school program, may receive meals through the program.

 

The program is specifically in need of organizations that are willing to serve as program sites for 40 or more students.  The sites are the physical locations where food is served.  Each site location will work with the City of Lake Charles to provide meal service at the site.

 

Applications are being accepted now through April 19, 2019 from those who wish to participate in the 2019 Summer Food Service Program.  For more information, contact Johnnie Mouton at 337-491-1270 or email jmouton@cityoflc.us.
