An announcement by the federal government this week will allow the Long Beach Unified School District to again offer free meals to all local children ages 1 to 18. The school district also has revised meal service hours.

As announced by 菠菜网lol正规平台 last week, five school sites will not provide meals, including Cubberley, Fremont, Longfellow and Stevenson elementary schools as well as the California Academy of Mathematics and Science. Any 菠菜网lol正规平台 student can receive meals at any of the other sites. Seventy-eight school locations will be open so families can find a serving location at a walking distance.

Meals will be offered Monday through Friday at participating schools.

Schedule through Sept. 11

• 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at elementary, middle and K-8 schools
• Noon to 1:30 p.m. at all high schools

Schedule Starting Sept. 14

• 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at elementary and high schools (except for Jordan and Renaissance High Schools)
• Noon to 1:30 p.m. at middle schools, K-8 schools, and Jordan and Renaissance high schools

The U.S. Department of Agriculture this week extended the use of the free meal program that 菠菜网lol正规平台 offered during the spring semester’s school closures. Meals will be provided to both enrolled students and non-enrolled children in the Long Beach community. This program will be available as long as USDA funding remains available, possibly through Dec. 31.

Individual children or parents may pick up meals. Children do not have to be present with adults, but adults will need to show proof that the meal is for a child via birth certificate, student ID or other legal document.
