KIDS EAT FREE THROUGH THE SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM WITH NEW OPTIONS

Beverly’s Summer Food Program, which provides food to any child 18 or under, will start on Monday, June 27. 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. This summer, new options have been added to the program to ensure that all children have healthy meal options available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Breakfast will be served at several Beverly Recreation Park Programs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday as follows:
Apple Village and Balch Playground from 8:30am-9:00am
Goldway and Holcroft Playgrounds from 8:45am-9:15am

Breakfast and lunch will be available at Beverly High School Cafeteria on Monday through Friday as follows:
Breakfast from 8:30 to 9:30am
Lunch from 11:00 to 11:30am

These two options run from Monday, June 27 through Friday, August 19 and are provided by Beverly Public Schools Food Services.

Weekly Food Pantry visits at Beverly Bootstraps during their regular Food Pantry hours of Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10:00am to 12:15pm; Tuesday and Wednesday from 5:00pm to 6:45pm; and the first and third Saturdays of the month from 10:00am to 11:00am. Pre-registration (either online at BeverlyBootstraps.org or in person at their offices at 35 Park Street) is required for this new program which runs from Monday, June 27 through Friday, August 26.

Children are encouraged to take advantage of all 3 options. No child should go hungry this summer.

This program is a collaboration between Beverly Bootstraps, Beverly Public Schools Food Services and Beverly Recreation Department.
