Important Update on 2024 Summer Foods Program - No Public Program Planned
Dear Brookings-Harbor Community Members,
As Summer Break approaches, we must inform you that the Brookings-Harbor School District will not offer our free summer meals service for youth this summer. There will be no free meals provided at the school sites or the Bite of Brookings (BOB Bus). The decision, influenced by declining participation and staffing challenges, was made with considerable deliberation.
While we regret the absence of our Summer Foods program, state and local resources are available to support families during this period. Eligible students can access additional support through the Summer EBT (S-EBT) program, which provides additional funds for families to purchase groceries. The local Brookings-Harbor Community Helpers Food Bank will also continue offering its Snack Pack program this year
For any questions or to share your thoughts, please contact us at 541-469-7443 or [email protected]. Your feedback is important as we strive to support our community effectively during these changes.
Sincerely,
Helena Chirinian, Superintendent
Cindy Badger, Director of Food Services
