Summer Food Service Program for St Johns County children

The St. Johns County School District reported to Historic City News that, with the exception of a holiday break in service on July 4th, they will be participating in the Summer Food Service Program for Children between June 6th and July 29th.

Nutritionally balanced meals will be provided to all children regardless of race, color, sex, disability, age, or national origin during summer vacation when school breakfast and lunches are not available.

All children 18 years old and younger are eligible for meals on a first-come, first-served basis at no charge, and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.

The programs are approved for geographical areas of need where 50 percent or more of the children qualify for free and reduced price meals during the school year.

Summer feeding sites that are located at schools provide meals to all children in the immediate vicinity in addition to those enrolled in summer school; however, meals are only served during the identified meal service times.

Please note that meal service times are subject to change. For any questions and verification of meal service times, you can contact 1(800) 622-5985 or (904) 547-8934.

Production sites include John A. Crookshank, W.D. Hartley, Ketterlinus, Osceola and South Woods elementary schools, The Webster School, Pedro Menendez, St. Augustine and St. Johns Technical high schools.

Pre-packaged meals will be transported to other sites and will be refrigerated at each site until served. Site personnel will ensure all food items remain at an acceptable temperature before serving to children.

The sites listed below will be in operation as follows:
