Free Meals for Children Distributed this Summer

During the month of June, Laveen Child Nutrition Services will be serving free breakfast and
lunch take & bake-style meals to children in the Laveen community at all nine Laveen schools.

Children 18 years and younger may pick up a nutritious breakfast and lunch over the summer break. All kids’ meals are free. There are no income requirements and you do not need to register. Children do not need to be enrolled in a Laveen school to participate. The summer meal program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Beginning on May 31, 2022, and running through June 30, meals will be distributed curbside daily Monday- Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. Desert Meadows will be distributing meals Monday – Friday, also from 9:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. Each distribution will include breakfast and lunch. Meals will be served cold with take-and-bake instructions.

Meals are available to all children under the age of 18. We ask that your children accompany you to pick up meals or that you display the parent pickup placard in your vehicle. Participants will be asked to complete and display a Parent/Guardian Pickup Placard provided on their first day of meal service.

For the most up-to-date summer menus, nutrition information, and allergens please visit Nutrislice.
