\n \"Summer <\/p>\n

This summer, Arlington ISD is connecting children 18 and younger, along with enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old, with healthy, no-cost summer meals. For children who rely on school meals during the academic year, these meals offer a source of good nutrition when school is out for the long summer vacation.<\/p>\n

Lunch will be served Monday through Friday, June 1 through August 7, 2026. Meals will not be served on June 19 (Juneteenth holiday) or July 4 (Independence Day holiday).<\/p>\n

Locations and Times\u00a0
\n
\nGeorge W. Hawkes Downtown Library, 100 S. Center St.: Noon-12:30 p.m.
\nEast Library and Recreation Center, 1817 New York Ave.: 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m.
\nSoutheast Branch Library, 900 SE Green Oaks Blvd., 12:30 p.m.-1 p.m. <\/p>\n

All children are invited to come grab a meal and enjoy it onsite. You do not need to be enrolled in Arlington ISD to participate.\u00a0All meals must be handed out to a child 18 or younger, or an enrolled student with disabilities up to 21 years old. Food must be consumed onsite in the designated area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition program administered in Texas by the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA).
