ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB) — Starting June 2, the Rapides Parish School Board will provide free breakfast and lunch at summer meal sites for children 18 and under.

Parents don’t need to fill out any forms to have their kids eat free this summer.

All you have to do is show up at one of the meal sites in the allotted time to get free breakfast and lunch.

There are 14 different meal sites across Rapides Parish for kids to get breakfast and lunch.

Most of the school meal sites will be closed on Fridays, excluding Alexandria Senior High and Peabody Magnet High, so on Fridays, you will be able to get your breakfast and lunch at those two sites only.

All of the breakfast and lunch meals will need to be eaten on site.

“They can’t take any meals from the site,” said director of child nutrition, Erma Davis. “Everything has to be eaten on site, and everything has to be taken.”

The summer feeding program is stricter than their regular program.

If you show up after the allotted time, your kids will not be able to eat.

“If the breakfast is from 7 to 8, and you are bringing your child at 8:01, we can provide a service for them,” said Davis. “If they are already in line, we will serve them, but if they are coming through the door and it’s after the hours, we are not allowed to do that.”
