KATY, TX — As summer break begins and school cafeterias close for the season, Katy ISD is once again helping local families by providing free breakfast and lunch meals to children and teens through its Summer Food Service Program.
According to Katy ISD, free meals are available to all children age 18 and younger, regardless of whether they attend a Katy ISD school. Children must be present to receive a meal, and no identification is required. Parents and guardians may also purchase meals to enjoy alongside their children.
The district’s summer meal program is designed to help ensure children continue receiving nutritious meals while school is out of session.
