Once again this summer, Whitley County Consolidated Schools will participate in the USDA Summer Food Service Program.
Free lunch meals will be made available to all children under the age of 18 and to persons over 18 years who are enrolled in a state-approved educational program for the mentally or physically disabled. Free meals will be provided to all children without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.
Free meals (for children only) will be provided at Mary Raber Elementary School, 700 E. Jackson Street, in Columbia City. Lunch meals will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. starting June 13, 2011, and will continue being offered each weekday through August 5. Children should enter the serving area through Entrance Door #7 (the alley side of the building).
Additionally, this year a second site in Miami Village Trailer Park, 4614 E. Old Trail Road, rural Columbia City, will also be available. Lunch meals for children ages 18 and under will be available in the park area every weekday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. from June 13, 2011, through August 5. No paperwork is required to participate at either site.
Meals must be eaten on site and cannot be shared with another person. Parents/caregivers are encouraged to bring their lunch if they want to eat with their children. No adult meals are available on site.
All sites will be closed on Monday, July 4, 2011, in observance of Independence Day.
