APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – The Appleton Area School District is once again set to provide nutritious food to children in the area during a time of the year when some kids are in desperate need of a convenient meal.

Beginning June 12, and lasting for roughly one month, the Appleton Area School District (AASD) is opening its Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) which provides free meals to children when free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable.

The SFSP is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

Officials say that free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under, and they do not need to currently attend the school or be an AASD student.

Those over the age of 18, who “are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year” may receive free meals as well, AASD’s release states.

The following locations will be serving free meals, Monday through Friday, from June 12 through July 7:
