Free Summer Lunch Program

food-security

Great Northern Services (GNS) sponsors a USDA Summer Food Service Program. Bag lunches are distributed Monday through Friday from June to August. Meals are provided to all children ages 18 and under without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there is no discrimination in the course of the meal service. In 2016 more than 2,000 lunches were served. This program will be expanded yearly until it covers the entire county.

You can reach the USDA by mail at U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410, by fax (202) 690-7442 or email at program.intake@usda.gov. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339; or (800) 845-6136 (Spanish). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

In 2017 the Free Summer Lunches will be served in Dunsmuir, McCloud, Montague, Mount Shasta and Weed.
