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.)

Using Wyoming LawHelp (Please Read)

Information, Not Legal Advice.  

  • Everybody's problems are unique.  This website cannot tell you how your case will be decided.  
  • This website can be used to help you learn the law.  It can help you understand your rights.  It can assist you in getting the help you need. 
  • If you need more help than this website can give on your specific problem, you should contact a lawyer.  If you are low-income and wish to apply for an attorney through Wyoming Legal Services, please click here.
  • Whether you are low-income or not, if you have questions about your case or are uncertain in any way, it is a good idea to talk to a lawyer before taking legal action.

Hiring a Lawyer.  

  • Hiring a lawyer is a big deal.  Be sure to shop around.
  • Before hiring a lawyer, you should ask a lot of questions. 
  • Hire a lawyer you feel you can trust. 
  • This website gives information on what to look for in a lawyer.  This web site is not advertising for any  particular lawyer.

E-mail. 

  • Using this website or sending an e-mail to Wyoming LawHelp does not mean that Wyoming LawHelp is your lawyer. 
  • It is important to understand that if you email WLWP and put facts about your case in the email that WLWP will keep your information confidential.  It is also important to understand that what you put in your email may not be confidential if you go to litigation on your legal problem.  This means that the information you provide could be used against you in court.  This is not a good thing!  Think twice about what you write in an email!  If you have any concerns at all, call our offices or talk to a lawyer!
  • For all these reasons, you may wish to use the telephone or talk in person when looking for a lawyer.

Deadlines

  • If you are handling your own case or do not yet have a lawyer, it is very important that you not miss deadlines!  You may lose your legal rights if you do not take action right away. 
  • This means getting a lawyer right away if that is what you want. 
  • If you don't have a lawyer call the clerk of court to find out what deadlines apply to you.

Getting It Right

  • Wyoming LawHelp is offered as public service.  We try to make the information correct as of the date of the materials. 
  • Sometimes the laws change.  We cannot promise that this information is always up-to-date and correct, but we are doing our best to give you the best information we can.

Links

  • Sometimes we link to legal information given by other websites.  
  • We cannot say with absolute certainty that these other links have gotten in right. 
  • We do not sponsor these other links or use any trade name, trademark, logo, legal or official seal used at these links.
