No Cost Summer Breakfast & Lunch Meals for Youth this Summer
Rim of the World Unified School District (ROWUSD) will provide NO-COST breakfast and lunch meals for youth (18 and under) in our community from June 17th to July 29th this summer. Last summer, the District distributed over 15,200 free meals to mountain youth.
Pick Up Details
Pick-Up Day: Every Tuesday
Location: Rim High School — 27400 CA Hwy 18, Lake Arrowhead, CA
Time: 11:30 AM–12:30 PM
Guideline Information
The following guidelines help Rim comply with program guidelines and ensure meals reach eligible youth in our community.
ROWUSD Students
If your children are not present at pick-up, you must bring their student ID card or student bus pass to receive meals on their behalf.
Non-ROWUSD Children
These meals are available even if your children are not enrolled in the school district. If your children are not enrolled in ROWUSD, the children must be present in person during meal pick-up to receive food. Thank you for your cooperation and support.
About the Program
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) federally funded program that reimburses sponsors for administrative and operational costs to provide meals for children 18 years of age and younger during periods when they are out of school for fifteen (15) or more consecutive school days. Good nutrition is essential for learning in school. The SFSP provides an opportunity to continue a child’s physical and social development while providing nutritious meals during vacation periods from school. Participation in the SFSP helps children return to school ready to learn.
Outcome
ROWUSD’s Child Nutrition Services (CNS) team applied for this program, went through training, and was able to distribute at two elementary sites this year for our entire Rim community.
From June 17th through July 29th, our CNS team will make and distribute over tens of thousands of free meals to children 18 years & under across the Rim. The District will distribute these meals regardless of whether your student attends the district or not, because all children deserve to be well-fed.
