The two biggest school districts in North Texas kicked off their annual Summer Meals programs to help make sure students are fed when school is out for the summer.
DALLAS ISD SUMMER MEALS PROGRAM
The Dallas Independent School District is among the school districts providing breakfast and lunch to anyone 18 years old and younger and students with disabilities up to 21 years of age -- not just students -- through a Summer Meals partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Texas Department of Agriculture.
"Hunger does not take a break so we are proud to provide meals, free breakfast and free lunch to anybody under the age of 18 through the month of August," said Dallas ISD executive director Debbie Rowley.
