The Minneapolis school district will provide free meals and snacks to kids this summer.
More than 60 schools, parks, recreation centers, libraries and community sites will provide food, which must be eaten on site. Anyone 18 years of age and younger can access the meals and snacks. They do not need to be enrolled in a district school.
The district is offering the food through the federal summer Food Service Program. There is no need to sign up.
Nonprofits across the Twin Cities and Minnesota also offer summer meal opportunities. The group Every Meal has a partnership with Hennepin County libraries. Second Harvest Heartland maintains a food resources map of sites across Minnesota where people in need can get help.
