Highline Public Schools offering free meals for all youth this summer

Highline Public Schools is offering free meals for all youth aged 18 and under this summer as part of the Summer Food Service Program. The initiative, which requires no registration or identification, aims to combat child hunger during school vacations. Meals will be served at various locations, including schools and community sites, and must be eaten on-site. The program reflects the district's commitment to ensuring that every child has access to healthy food year-round. “Youth do not need to be enrolled in Highline Public Schools to participate—everyone is welcome,” the district added.

The program operates under federal funding guidelines, emphasizing community involvement. This effort is crucial in addressing food insecurity, especially during the summer months. The district encourages families to take advantage of this opportunity to ensure their children receive nutritious meals.
