The Summer BreakSpot Program provides meals at no cost to children 18 and under, while schools are closed for the summer. Last summer, more than 4,000 sites helped serve nearly 15 million meals to children across Florida.

Meals are available on a first come, first served basis. Acceptance and participation are the same for all children. Summer BreakSpot is part of the National Summer Food Service Program, a federally-funded program operated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Still nothing for Beulah’s children. Why is it that Beulah is growing with houses
But has nothing to
Offer our children. A bus would be nice then summer jobs could become a possibility so they would have a way. It’s so sad how no one ever thinks about the people of Beulah.
