The Brownsville Independent School District is launching its Seamless Summer Option Program beginning June 6. The district’s Food and Nutrition Services Department will offer free breakfast and lunch meals through Aug. 5.

This program is sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture and provides nutritious free meals for children up to age 18.

All families have to do is find a site, have their child show up for breakfast and lunch and enjoy a healthy meal. No registration is required. Breakfast services is 7:30 to 7:55 a.m. and lunch is from 12:05 to 12:35 p.m.

Meals must be consumed onsite and children do not have to be Brownsville ISD students to receive a free meal. The program ensures that no child goes hungry, and children continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations when they do not have access to school meals.
