Now that summer is here, it’s time to think about how children will eat healthy while school is out. Kids ages 18 and under can enjoy a free nutritious meal and/or an afternoon snack during summer break through the “Summer BreakSpot” program. Several locations in the City of Hollywood have joined more than 3,500 supervised locations in Florida to offer breakfast, lunch or snack. The menu varies each day and meals are served on a first-come, first-served basis. A typical breakfast is cereal, milk and fruit or a muffin or bagel. Lunch is typically a sandwich, chips, fruit, dessert and drink, but it may also be a hot meal. The Summer Food Program is funded by a federal grant from the Department of Agriculture.
