HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Summer meals start Tuesday in Hutchinson USD 308.
"We'll have three public locations," said food service director Jennifer Tatro. "One will be at HMS 7. The other one will be at the Hutchinson Library. Then the last one will be at the Fairgrounds Splash Park. Those are open Monday through Friday, and they are available to go to HMS 7 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Then the Fairgrounds Splash Park and the library are from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m."
The summer meal program is for kids and teens.
"Kids and teens either need to be present in order to receive the meal," Tatro said. "We do have the option of a meal pass and parents are able to go to HMS 7 to pick up that meal pass. They do still have to have their kids or teens present at that time. Then we will issue them a meal pass where they can just show that meal pass to any of our locations from that point forward."
Each day staff would be able to give them the number of meals that are on their meal pass.
"At HMS 7, they will receive a lunch for that current day and then a breakfast for the following morning," The Splash Park and the library, just due to the environment, we're unfortunately able to not have a breakfast at those sites. It's only available at HMS 7."
Meals are free for those ages one to 18.
