The Kent School District sponsors free summer lunches for children ages 18 and under during the months of June, July, and August.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The program kicked off Monday, June 24. The Summer Lunch Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is a partnership between Kent School District Nutrition Services, the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the USDA.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The program was established to ensure that during school vacations, children could continue to receive the same high-quality meals that are provided during the school year. Meals are available for free or to students who qualify based on USDA household income guidelines.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
