 The Bemidji area school district is making sure kids are fed this summer with a free food program. The service is sponsored by the USDA and is available to all kids from any area, not just Bemidji who are 18 and under. Breakfast is served at 7.30 in the morning at Bemidji Middle School, Bemidji High School and Central Elementary School as well as Lincoln Elementary. Then lunch is served at the same location starting at 10.30. The idea for this program has been running for many, many years. It is to continue the opportunity for nutritious meals for children after the school year ends. It's to fill that gap between the school year ending and the school year starting for those kids who struggle to have nutritional meals during the day. We provide breakfast and lunch so that they have something to sustain them through the summer months. Parents are allowed to enjoy the meals as well, although they're asked to pay up to $4. The food service program will end on July 27th.
