The School District of Rhinelander has announced the sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).

The SFSP, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-price school meals are typically unavailable.

Free meals will be made available to eligible children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well.

The following locations will serve free breakfast this summer from June 11 through July 10 (no meals on July 4 or July 5):
• Crescent Elementary from 7:30 to 8 a.m.
• Pelican Elementary from 8 to 8:15 a.m.
• Rhinelander High School from 9 to 9:30 am

The following locations will serve free lunch this summer from June 11 through July 10 (no meals on July 4 or July 5):

• James Williams Middle School from 11:45 a.m. to 12:05 p.m.
• Rhinelander High School from noon to 12:30 p.m.

Meals will be provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
