The SFSP provides meals to eligible children age 18 and under during the summer months (June through August) and in times of emergency. Meals are also available to persons with disabilities, over age 18, who participate in school programs for people who are mentally or physically disabled.
Parents picking up kits without their child present must bring identification for the child. Acceptable forms of identification include student ID, child's passport or other government-issued ID, birth certificate, adoption decree, immunization records, and school demographics. Meal kits will not be provided to parents who do not bring their child or do not provide proper identification.
Families without transportation may walk up to collect meal kits.
Meals will be distributed from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays at: the Belle Glade Branch, 725 N.W. Fourth Street in Belle Glade; the Clarench E. Anthony Library, 375 SW Second Street in South Bay; and the Loula V. York Branch, 525 Bacom Point Road, Pahokee.
