School’s Out Café
Summer is here and it’s time to dine at the “School’s
Out Café.” The Summer Food Service Program sponsored by
the City of St. Louis runs from June 4 to August 15. Young persons
under 18 years of age can enjoy free breakfast and/or lunch at
over 70 sites within the metropolitan St. Louis area.
Last year’s program served more than 85,000 breakfasts
and 122,000 lunches.
Eligibility requirements are any person 18 years
of age or younger and persons age 19 or older who have been determined
by a State or local educational agency to have a mental or physical
disability, and who has participated during the school year in
a public or private nonprofit school program established for the
mentally or physically disabled.
To become a food distribution site, you must
be located in a school district where at least 50% of the students
receive free or reduced meals and receive training as directed
by the USDA.
