Children under the ages of 5 years old are encouraged to come with an adult. Feeding assistance will not be provided.  All meals must be eaten onsite.

 Does your child have special dietary needs? Please contact Sara Salvini at sara.salvini@southeastpolkschools.org for accommodation. For additional information and menus, check out the Summer Meals page.

 Are you interested in helping make this program a success? To ensure our program runs smoothly, it takes many hands. We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to help during our lunch service time. Bring your child to eat and help during meal service.  This would be for supervision, helping carry trays, help with spills… all that comes with feeding kids.
