A free weekday breakfast and lunch program for people 18 years old or younger is currently feeding about 160 per day, but there’s room at the table for a lot more, said Scott Smith, Director of Dining Services at Lapeer Community Schools.
For the second consecutive year, the Food Service Department of Lapeer Community Schools is offering free breakfast and free lunches to those 18 years or younger.
The program, which is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, comes during a particularly rough economic period in the State. The summer started out slowly, but increased considerably with the start of summer school, Smith said.
The free meals are available at Turrill Elementary School, 785 S. Elm Street, or at the City of Lapeer Recreation Center, 880 S. Saginaw Street, to anyone meeting the age requirement. There are no geographic or economic requirements. A young person does not have to be enrolled in any LCS programs to receive the free breakfast or lunch.
Breakfast will be served from 8:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. and lunch 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The program began Monday, June 15, and ends Friday, August 28.
