The Bucyrus City Schools, in partnership with the Ohio Summer Food Program, will conduct a Summer Food Service Program this summer.
Free lunches will be provided to children ages 1 to 18 from 10:15 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. now through August 8 (Monday through Friday only), at the Bucyrus Secondary School.
Additional sites will offer lunches through August 1 (Monday through Friday only). Sites and times are as follows:
• Aumiller Park Pavilion, 12:30-1:15p.m.
• Bucyrus Elementary School, 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
• Harmon Field Park, 11:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
• Lions Field Park, 11:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Please note that all lunches are available on a first-come, first-served basis and must be eaten on site. Adult meals will also be available for purchase at a cost of $3; correct change is required. Weekly menus will be posted at each site and on the Food Services webpage at www.bucyrusschools.org. The program is sponsored and funded by the USDA, and monitored by the Ohio Department of Education.
“The summer program is great for kids and families that are struggling to get by,” Food Service Director Lorie Pennington said. “Since the economy in this area is still working toward improvement, the school board and the administration thought it vital that the food service department continue with the summer program. Our main goal is to help families not only in Bucyrus but the surrounding areas by providing them with the nutritious meals over the long summer months. Any child from any school district or state is eligible to participate.”
No meals will be served July 4 to allow staff and volunteers to enjoy the holiday with their families. For more information contact Pennington at 419-562-5355.
