Free Breakfast and Lunch for All Children
Through the Summer Seamless Program, we are providing meals for all children up to 18 years of age at no charge. You do not need to be an enrolled learner in order to receive free meals. Each child will receive one grab-and-go breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday except on school holidays. Each Friday we also serve free grab-and-go meals to take home for Saturday and Sunday as well. Children need not be present to pick up.
While our site is closed, school meals are grab-and-go with minimal contact and may not be consumed on-site. Breakfast and lunch are served together at the front gate (2110 W. Avenue K, Lancaster, CA) Monday through Friday. Breakfast is served from 9-11 AM and lunch from 1:30-3:30 PM. For your protection and ours, please wear a cloth face covering when picking up meals.
