Summer Feeding in VISD

Rural Summer Feeding Program

For the second summer, VISD will offer the Summer Meal Distribution through the Rural Areas Program.

Free meals will be distributed at Aloe Elementary on Monday and Thursday of each week from 4 to 6 p.m. starting May 30, 2024. On Monday, children will receive meals for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The Thursday distribution will cover Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. 

Parents/guardians can sign up for the Rural Summer Feeding program onsite or by calling the Child Nutrition Office at 361.788.9235. The student(s) do not have to attend a VISD school; however, proof of student(s) age is required or the child must be with you during pick up. Valid forms are student ID or birth certificate, or current report card. 

Each family will receive a "dashboard placard" for faster meal pickup in future distributions.

Summer Food Program

The Summer Food Program offers free meals for all children ages 18 and under, with breakfast available and lunch served Monday-Thursday at school sites and Monday-Friday at community partner sites.

No fees or proof of income are required for participation. Families can access a comprehensive list of meal sites and schedules by calling 211 or texting FOOD to 304-304. For more information and to view the summer menu, please visit the Child Nutrition webpage at www.VISD.net or call 361.788.9235.
