Food Services

"The Summer Food Service Program is vital to the health and wellbeing of some of Indiana's most vulnerable children," said State Superintendent Jennifer McCormick. "I encourage all capable schools and community organizations to participate and ensure Indiana's children have access to nutritious meals when school is not in session. Together, we can make a difference."

"Animo a todas las escuelas y organizaciones comunitarias capaces a participar y asegurar que los niños de Indiana tengan acceso a comidas nutritivas cuando la escuela no está en sesión. Juntos, podemos hacer la diferencia".
