Original Post:
Many children who receive free and reduced-price meals at school spend the summer hungry. Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does a child’s need for good nutrition. For the fourth year, the Franklin Special School District (FSSD) is partnering with the Tennessee Department of Human Services (DHS) and with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to offer a Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) to local children. The SFSP helps to bridge this hunger gap by providing free food to kids at community sites during the months of June and July.
The 2013 Summer Food Service Program kicks off Thursday, May 23rd at Franklin Elementary School. The program’s goal is to make sure any child who needs breakfast or lunch can receive it, so there are no forms to fill out or qualifications to meet. Any child under 18 is eligible to receive breakfast and lunch through the SFSP. Adults may purchase a meal for $3. The FSSD will host three dining sites throughout the summer (excluding Memorial Day and the week of July 2-6).
Summer Serving Sites Include:
Franklin Elementary School Cafeteria, 1501 Figuers Drive offers breakfast from 8:00 until 8:30 and lunch from 12:15 until 12:45, Monday – Friday. Dates available: May 23 through August 6. Please enter through the school’s multi-purpose room entrance, adjacent to the staff parking lot at the side of the building.
