Summer Food Service
Thousands of children in Wyoming get free or low-cost breakfast and/or lunch during the school year. During the summer when school is out, these kids need a place to turn. This program helps these kids. To get free or low-cost meals, kids usually have to be in a summer activity program. Your local school district can tell you more.
Who can get it?
People who are low-income and enrolled in a summer activity program are eligible. The table below shows the income levels needed to get either free or low-cost summer meals. These income levels are for the summer of 2006. (The levels change every year.)
