In observance of the Independence Day holiday, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) will not distribute meals on Monday, July 5 at any of its county locations. The daily cold meal locations will return to their regular schedule on Tuesday, July 6. The Grab ‘n Go sites at the Glades Road Branch and Greenacres Branch libraries will resume service on Monday, July 12; the Town of Lake Park will have mobile feeding from 10:00 to 11:00 am on Tuesday, July 6.

The SFSP provides meals and snacks to eligible children age 18 and under during the summer months (June through August) and in times of emergency. Meals and snacks are also available to persons with disabilities, over age 18, who participate in school programs for people who are mentally or physically disabled. The Palm Beach County Youth Services Department administers and monitors this program, funded by USDA and the Department of Education. Sites are located throughout Palm Beach County in low-income neighborhoods.

For Grab 'n Go meals, parents picking up kits without their child present must bring identification for the child. Meal kits will not be provided to parents who do not bring their child or do not provide proper identification. Proper safety measures must be practiced.

The SFSP will operate through Friday, August 6, 2021. For locations and times of service, visit https://summerbreakspot.fdacs.gov/.
