All children ages 1-18 in the community can receive free meal kits both through the summer and the 2021-2022 academic year through Lawrence Public Schools, thanks to resources from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The district’s food service will also provide free meals to enrolled participants in summer programs for the school district, Boys and Girls Club, or Lawrence Parks and Recreation.
