Citrus Schools to provide FREE breakfast and lunch thru December under grant
Superintendent Himmel recently requested and received approval from the Florida Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Services Office to allow the Citrus County School District to operate under the Summer Food Service Program through December 18, 2020. This program will begin on Monday, September 14th.
Under the Summer Food Service Program, all children 18 years old and younger may receive FREE Breakfast and Lunch.
For our Brick and Mortar students, they will be entitled to receive free school breakfast and lunch at school Monday through Friday.
On Thursdays from 12:15-1:15 pm, parents/guardians will be allowed to pick-up weekend meals for their students. Students do not have to be in the vehicle to receive meals, however, Parents/Guardians must provide the first and last name of the child, the school name and grade your child is in, and let the Food and Nutrition Staff know that you’re picking up weekend meals for your brick and mortar student.
Weekend Meals will consist of 2 days of school lunches, 2 days of school breakfasts, 2 days of SUPER Snacks, and Regular Snacks. Some items may need to be heated. Cooking instructions will be provided on the Food and Nutrition Services website

Please know that if your students have NOT already been approved for Free or Reduced-Price meals for the 2020-2021 SY, you MUST complete a Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application. This will ensure your child will receive school meals based on your income status once the deadline for the Summer Food Service Program occurs.
If you have any questions, please contact the Citrus County Schools Food and Nutrition Service Department at 352-726-1931 Ext. 2402
