USDA Approves Dysart to Extend Summer Meal Service

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — 9/4/2020

Dysart Unified School District was approved by the USDA to extend our Summer Meal Service through December 31 or until the Federal funding for this program is depleted. Beginning immediately, all children 18 and younger can receive free breakfast and lunch at any Dysart school. Breakfast and lunch meal service is available Monday-Friday through drive-thru curbside pickup, or in the school cafeterias for those attending Learning Labs or in-person classes. 

To view curbside meal service times, please visit Dysart.org/meals. Menus and nutritional information can be found at Dysart.Nutrislice.com. Please note menus are subject to change based on demand and availability.

Parents may pick up the meals. Children do not need to be present, and children do not need to be enrolled in a Dysart school to participate.
