Stressing the importance of offering nutritious meals to children during the summer months, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee announces the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable. Free meals will be made available to children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age 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.
Breakfast, lunch and/or afternoon snacks will be provided to Boys & Girls Club members Monday through Friday at the following locations:
June 14th – August 26th:
Daniels-Mardak Boys & Girls Club
4834 N. 35th St., Milwaukee, WI 53209
LaVarnway Boys & Girls Club
2739 N. 15th St., Milwaukee, WI 53206

611 W. Cherry St., Milwaukee, WI 53212

Hadfield Boys & Girls Club

Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
“This program fills a void created when school lunches are not available,” said Vincent Lyles (Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee, President/CEO). “Helping parents meet the nutritional needs of their children is the strength of this program.”
