The Food Service Department of Wicomico County Public Schools will once again participate in the Summer Food Service Program, with funding support from the Maryland State Department of Education through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Meals will be provided from June 25-Aug. 1 on all weekdays except July 4. Meals are available to all children without charge. Acceptance and participation requirements for the program and all activities are the same for all regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. There will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.
When schools are not in session, many children do not have access to the good nutrition that school cafeterias provide during the normal school year. The Summer Food Service Program is designed specifically to fill the nutrition gap for children of low-income families when schools are not in session.
The Summer Food Service Program of Wicomico Schools includes lunch service at three park playgrounds in Salisbury as well as a new location this year, The UpRising Church @ St. Paul’s in Hebron. There will be breakfast and lunch service at the Christian Shelter and Wicomico County Housing Authority in Salisbury.
Meals will be served at the sites and times as follows:
The Christian Shelter, 334 Barclay St., Salisbury
Breakfast: 8 a.m.
Lunch: 12 p.m.
Wicomico County Housing Authority, 911 Booth St., Salisbury

These same kids are being givin food stamps, well, their parents are, but how much are we as taxpayers supposed to keep this crap up? No one feeds my kids, because I work 40 plus hours a week!
ReplyDeleteWe've paid for the food stamps for the family. On top of that we paid for free breakfast and lunch for kids in school with no deduction of those meals from the parent's food stamps. How many times must we fund meals for the same people?
ReplyDeleteDo you all realize that the public schools feed not only the ones that are disadvantaged but EVERY child while Many parents don't even get out of bed in the morning.

ReplyDeleteShould you be having children if you can't afford to feed them?
Why don't they set up something, somewhere to hand out birth control. Enough is enough. They may be hungry but their lazy parents need to get a job and go to work like responsible people do. This handout society really needs to stop. We have fed them and fed them but it never ends.
ReplyDeleteIt's out of control,if it was feasable I would move the hell out of wicomico county,and maryland all together. what a bunch of idiots we have running things.
ReplyDeleteyou breed 'em; we feed 'em
ReplyDeleteMost children will only get lunch out of this if they are lucky. 8 or 8:30 a.m. is too early for the parent to get out of bed and find the child a ride for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI work at a school. They have cabs bring their kids to school. And we feed them and babysit them.
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't Dr Freddy just take them to lunch with him.
ReplyDeleteSeems like they are only interested in feeding the children in Salisbury. Don't the other children in other towns in Wicomico County count? I think the entire thing is a waste of money if you ask me but let's be fair. If you are going to provide food provide it for all not just the ones in Salisbury....oh yeah and one in Hebron.
ReplyDeleteMy mother, who worked 40 hr weekly, had to feed me back in the 1960s. The government is taking the place of the parent today; which is why these kids grow up thinking the government should take care of their every need. They are producting more welfare mothers.
ReplyDeletePittsville School encouraged a family that owns there own business to get free lunch. Private school for one child and free lunch for the other. The whole system need to be checked.
ReplyDelete7:00 p.m. I SOOOO AGREE WITH YOU!!! I'm Tired of paying for them also!! Enough is Enough!!!
ReplyDeleteIf their parents didn't misuse their welfare, they could feed the kids. Just keeping the poor dependent on government assistance. Got to start getting them trained and required to work. Obama's going to be out in a few years.
ReplyDeleteGovernment is running our lives. So who did you vote for? I love helping people but tired of enabling them!!!!
