This is our final week for the 2025 Summer Food Service Program!
The Summer Food Service Program operates under the supervision of the US Department of Agriculture. It allows anyone 18 years of age and under to receive a free breakfast and lunch daily during the period the program operates. The program operates at Camden Elementary School until Friday, August 22nd. It runs on a Monday to Friday schedule, with food pick-up available at any point from 8:30 AM to noon daily.
There are no eligibility requirements other than a child’s age. The child does not need to be enrolled in the district, nor are there any income requirements.
This year, the District has received approval to operate Camden Elementary School as a “Non-Congregate Feeding Site”, which means that meals will be offered exclusively in a Grab-and-Go format. Each participating child will receive a single bag containing one cold breakfast and one cold lunch daily. You will not be allowed to receive multiple days’ worth of meals in a single day.
Anyone 18 or under can pick up a daily breakfast and lunch at any point during the distribution time at Camden Elementary School.
Parents/guardians may also pick up meals for their children by providing their names.
Menus and More Info: https://www.camdenschools.org/article/2253416
