D49 Summer Meals: June 2-27

District 49 is pleased to host breakfast and lunch service this summer at no cost to all children, ages 1-18. This service is available for all children, regardless of which school they attend, and those who are not currently enrolled in a D49 school. Good nutrition during the summer months helps prepare children for success once school is back in session.

We will offer one meal at a time. Breakfast is only available at the scheduled breakfast time, and lunch is only available at the scheduled lunch time. Participants are required to eat in the cafeteria. We will not have a to-go option.

These services are part of the USDA summer food service program. Updated menus will soon be posted at D49.org. D49 will participate in the Colorado Healthy School Meals for All Program for the 2025-26 school year.

The Free and Reduced Benefits Program extends well beyond the lunchroom and provides critical support for families and classrooms every year. Click the following link to learn more today about what the program covers and how to apply for this important service! Free and Reduced Program Link

Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
