US EditionJefferson County Schools Offers Free Summer Meals to Students
- Jefferson County Public Schools launched its 2024 Summer Food Program today, offering free meals at 119 sites across Louisville.
- The program responds to food insecurity as 63% of JCPS students qualify for free or reduced-price meals and need summer nutrition support.
- Students can receive hot breakfasts at 68 schools, free lunches at 38 mobile sites and 10 community partner locations, and families in rural areas can collect meal boxes containing multiple breakfasts and lunches at three designated distribution centers.
- JCPS expects to serve over 240,000 meals this summer, and Superintendent Marty Pollio called it 'a lifesaver for many of our families.'
- The program runs through July 25 and aims to improve children's nutrition and help reduce summer learning loss during out-of-school months.
