The Summer Food Service Program for Children was created to serve nutritious meals to children when the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program meals are not available. Under this program, free meals are provided to all eligible children ages 1 to 18 as well as people with disabilities, regardless of age, who participate in a special education program. 

Acceptance and participation requirements for the program are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.

New this year: additional meal pickup 

In addition to these onsite meals, Marion Community Schools plans to pilot a weekend meal booster program, which will be a limited pickup option for families with MCS students. More information will be provided directly to MCS families through our school messaging system. Families are encouraged to watch for information about this option!
