Forney ISD Announces Summer Meal Program to Support Local Students
As the school year winds down and the summer break begins, Forney Independent School District is once again ensuring that nutrition remains a priority for the community’s youth. The district has announced that it will provide free breakfast and lunch to all children aged 18 and younger throughout the summer months.
The program is open to all children in the community, regardless of whether they are currently enrolled in Forney ISD or reside within the district boundaries. This initiative aims to bridge the food gap for families during the summer break, providing consistent access to healthy, balanced meals.
Program Details and Requirements
To participate, families do not need to pre-register. Meals are available on a walk-in basis, though the district emphasizes that all meals must be consumed on-site at the designated campus locations.
