WCSD summer meal sites announced

The Warren County School District is offering the federally funded Summer Food Service Program this summer.

Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered through the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the program provides free meals and snacks to all children 18 years of age and younger at approved sites across Warren County. No registration or income requirements are necessary.

“Last year, we served around 4,800 meals through the program,” said Matthew Jones, Warren County School District coordinator of grant and foundation development. “We’re proud to continue bridging the nutrition gap for families during the summer months.”

Sites include:

– Beaty Warren Middle School, breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday from June 19 through Aug. 8. Breakfast hours are 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. with lunch from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

– Warren Area Elementary Center, bagged breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday from June 19 through Aug. 8. Breakfast is from 8 to 8:30 a.m. with lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

– Lacy Park & Playground, bagged lunch only, Monday through Friday from June 16 through Aug. 8, from 11:30 a.m. to noon.

– Crescent Park, bagged lunch only, Monday through Friday from June 16 through Aug. 8, from 11:30 a.m. to noon.

– Sheffield Township Park, bagged lunch only, Monday through Friday from June 16 through Aug. 8, from 11:30 a.m. to noon.

All sites will be closed from July 1-4 for the Fourth of July holiday.

Children are encouraged to arrive early at playground sites to help staff order the appropriate number of meals. All meals must be eaten on-site, and menus will be available online at www.wcsdpa.org under the “Summer Food Service Program” tab.

The program is a collaboration between the Warren County School District, city of Warren and Sheffield Township. Organizations offering summer programming and interested in becoming a Summer Food Service Program site can call Jones at 814-723-6900 or email jonesm@wcsdpa.org.

The district will announce any changes to dates, times, or sites via signage, its website, mobile app, and the Warren County School District Facebook page.

Starting at $3.50/week.
