The Summer Food Service Program of Wicomico Schools has expanded this summer to include lunch service at eight Salisbury locations, and breakfast and lunch service at four of those locations. With children not in school, the Summer Food Service Program operates in the community – at a shelter, at playgrounds, at an apartment complex, at churches, and at two community gardens.
Meals will be provided from on all weekdays except July 4. Summer food service began June 23 at some locations and June 27 at others, so all are now operating. All summer food sites will operate until Aug. 5 except Cathedral of Restoration, which will have its last service day on July 29.
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, religion, gender identity, disability or any other factor. 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.

What about all the hungry children in Hebron, Mardela, Eden, Parsonsburg, Pittsville, Willards, Powellville and any other towns in this county that are NOT in Salisbury?
Agreed 2:06.. As well as Sharptown, Westside, and Delmar.
Those towns don't fit the demographic for freebies.
When did Wicomico County only include Salisbury??? There are other children in other towns that can benefit from this. Not far at all!
I agree with 2:06, are the black kids in Salisbury the only ones that are hungry? I seriously doubt it.
Uh, what about their parents caring for them?
Parents tend to the stomach.
The collective (taxpayers) can tend to the brain. Wait, that's not working either.
Just a question what are the parents doing with BET cards that they can't feed their kids? Lets look into that. map
Who's going to feed the tax payers?
Who will feed after the first few days in August?
I don't know how to start a post.has the board announced that choices is moving to long avunue
