MIAMI – Miami-Dade County Public Schools is doing its part to address food insecurity as the district is offering free breakfast and lunch to children throughout their summer vacation.

The program is part of Florida’s Summer BreakSpot, in which free breakfast and lunch will be available at 170 schools across Miami-Dade County from June 8 through July 31 for children and teens 18 years and younger.

There are no income requirements, applications or registration needed to participate.

Unlike previous years, meals must be eaten on-site. Grab-and-go meal service will not be available.

School officials said the program is designed to help ensure children continue receiving nutritious meals while school is out for the summer.

District officials encourage parents and guardians to take advantage of the program to help keep children healthy and well-nourished during the summer months.
