Richardson ISD will offer summer meals for three weeks in June at seven different campuses across the district.
All children aged 18 and younger are eligible for these free meals made possible through a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition program and administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
“Richardson ISD children need good nutrition year-round so they can learn, grow and succeed in life,” RISD Executive Director of Child Nutrition Alissa Gustof said. “With nearly 2 million food insecure children living in Texas, these healthy meals are vital to nourishing young Texans during the summer vacation.”
The RISD campuses where these meals will be available include Lake Highlands High School, Richardson North Junior High, Richardson Heights Elementary, Skyview Elementary, Yale Elementary, RISD Academy, and Dobie Pre-K. Click here to view the times when the meals will be provided. (en español)
