School district offers summer meals for kids

‍

To ensure that children continue receiving delicious and nutritious meals throughout the summer, Mansfield ISD will kick off its seventh annual free summer meals program. This year, families can choose one of two ways to receive the meals.

Curbside Meal Bundles

From June 4 through July 30, all kids up to age 18 and adults with special needs up to age 21 can receive free meal bundles from 9:30-11 a.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. (Three breakfast meals and three lunch meals will be provided on those days.)

The curbside food distribution sites are:

The packaged meals are distributed in a drive-thru fashion. Walkers and bike riders are also welcome to grab a meal to go. Children do not have to be an MISD student to receive the meals, and families can visit any of the participating sites.
