VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia Beach City Public Schools will provide free breakfast and lunch meals to children 18 years and younger this summer.
It's part of the Summer Food Service Program administered through the Virginia Department of Education and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, which offers meals to kids who might otherwise go hungry during the summer months when school is not in session.
Children do not have to be enrolled in Virginia Beach schools to receive free meals, they only need to show up at any open summer meal site during the designated hours to receive a meal.
The schedule for this year is as follows, with all sites closed on July 4:
