MISD Opens Summer Program to Feed the Community

Mansfield ISD Student Nutrition Services is excited to introduce a new summer feeding program starting June 10 that will benefit the whole community.
The Seamless Summer Option, funded through a federal grant, allows the district to continue normal breakfast and lunch service over the summer to any child 18 years and younger completely free of charge--even if they aren't enrolled in MISD summer programs!
The free nutritious meals will include protein, grains, fruit, vegetables and milk. All children must select a fruit and/or vegetable, and all meals must be eaten on site. Adult meals are available for $3.50. View the menu here.
Below are a list of times and locations where chidren can receive their free meals. (Download flyer en español.)
Dates | Location | Breakfast Times | Lunch Times |
June 10 – June 30 | Ponder Elementary School | 8:15 – 9 a.m. | 12:05 – 1:05 p.m. |
June 10 – June 30 | Anderson Elementary School | 9:20 a.m. – 10 a.m. | 12 – 12:45 p.m. |
June 10 – June 23 | Coble Middle School | 8:45 – 9:15 a.m. | 11:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. |
