Beverly’s Summer Food Program, which provides food to any child 18 or under, will start on Monday, June 26. Often over the summer, when school is out and the free and reduced school breakfast and lunch program is not available, families have a difficult time squeezing the cost of additional food into an already tight budget. The goal is to ensure that all children have healthy meal options available this summer.
Lunch runs from Monday, June 26 through Friday, August 18 and is provided by Beverly Public Schools Food Services at the following locations and times:
Beverly High School Cafeteria, Monday - Friday, from 11:30am to 12:15pm
