The program will operate at Camden Elementary School from Monday, July 7th to Friday, August 22nd.

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.
