Children who depend on their school to provide meals during the academic year will have access to nutritious meals throughout the summer at no cost. Today, Cy-Fair ISD’s food service department kicked off the Summer Food Service Program, which is administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture, for children 18 and under. “CFISD students need good nutrition year-round so they can learn, grow and succeed in life,” said Darin Crawford, director of food service. “With nearly 2 million food-insecure children living in Texas, these healthy meals are vital to nourishing young Texans during the summer vacation.” Select libraries, apartment complexes, YMCAs and other community sites in Cy-Fair will provide free meals for children as well. To find out which local entities are participating, visit http://summerfood.org. Parents can also text “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 877877 for English and Spanish information about free meal options based on their location. No Kid Hungry developed this system in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The following CFISD schools will serve up breakfast and lunch Mondays through Thursdays:
