The Meridian Public School District Summer Food Service Program will begin June 1, 2026, and families now have two options available to receive summer meals.

Children in the community can receive breakfast and lunch through our traditional summer meal service, or families may choose the new 7-day meal box option, which provides a full week’s supply of nutritious breakfast and lunch for eligible children 18 and under.

Please note: Each child may only participate in one summer meal option at a time. Children participating in summer school or other District Summer Enrichment programs that provide meals are not eligible for meal boxes during that same period.

Meals will not be served on June 19 or July 3.

MPSD is proud to help support children and families in our community this summer!
