Manitowoc Public School District is proud to announce our participation in the Summer Food Service Program! For many kids, summertime means food, friends and fun. For families who count on school breakfast and lunch, however, the summer months can be stressful and family food budgets have to be stretched even further.
We have good news! Free summer meals are available to kids and teens ages 18 and younger at sites across our community. There’s no paperwork to fill out – just visit one of our sites during meal time and your child or teen can receive a fresh, nutritious, delicious meal for free. Meals must be consumed on site.
Link above provides meal times and locations.
