United Community Centers is once again offering its Summer Food Service Program. Parents can take their children 18 and under to get free, healthy meals for children and teens across Fort Worth.
It’s all in an effort to make sure children in the community have access to nutritious meals during the summer months.
People 21 and younger, living with disabilities, can also receive the free breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday at all three UCC centers.
Through August 4 those include:
• Bethlehem Center – 951 Evans Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76104
• Polytechnic Center – 3100 Avenue I, Fort Worth, TX 76105
• Wesley Center – 3600 N. Crump St., Fort Worth, TX 76106
Breakfast is served from 7:30–9:00 AM, and lunch from 12:00–1:00 p.m.
No registration, identification or application is required. This program ensures that children in our community continue to have access to nutritious meals.
Organizers with UCC said this by offering no-cost, no-barrier meals, they are helping to fill the gap and ensure that children return to school in the Fall healthy and energized.
Serving Fort Worth since 1909, United Community Centers said they have remained committed to its mission that is guided by Christian principles.
For more than 100 years, UCC has been a stabilizing force in the Polytechnic Heights, Diamond Hill-Jarvis, and Historic Southside neighborhoods — providing education, nourishment, and family support to generations of residents. The centers also work to strengthen literacy and empower families with the tools they need to succeed in everyday life.
UCC’s food pantry and grocery distribution programs provide groceries to over 24,000 families annually.
