LAS VEGAS -- The Clark County School District will offer a summer food program at 130 schools to make sure kids are getting the nutrition they need while on summer break.
The program is open to children between the ages of 2 to 18 and there is no charge. The program includes breakfast and lunch meals.
As the local economy has declined, more children have qualified for the federal Free & Reduced Lunch program. Currently 55 percent of the children in the Clark County School District qualify for the program and the number is expected to continue to increase.
For information about the 130 locations, click here. If you have question about the summer feeding program, you can also call 799-8123.
