Beverly Schools Summer Lunch Program Starts This Week

BEVERLY, MA — Beverly Public Schools is starting its summer lunch program this week with some changes from the last two years.

Lunch will be available at Beverly High School Mondays through Fridays beginning on Tuesday and extending until Aug. 19. Lunch will also be delivered to three parks in the city on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the summer.

The Beverly High School program will serve from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m for all children ages 2 through 18. However, those getting lunch must have it in the cafeteria this year as to-go meals will not be offered as they were the past two summers amid the COVID-19 health crisis.

The Beverly Recreation will also assist the Schools by distributing lunches to Balch Park, Holcroft Park and Pleasant View Park four days per week.

Beverly children attending the parks program or summer school at another location can consider going to Beverly High School on Sohier Road for lunch after picking them up at the respective program.

A breakfast and lunch program at Hannah Elementary School will also begin on July 11.

Those with questions are encouraged to contact Christina Leal at 978-921-6132, Ext. 1112.
