PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) — Palm Springs Unified School District is launching its summer feeding program today. It’s open to all children and teens in the community under the age of 18, not just PSUSD students.
In the United States, an estimated 22 million children face hunger during the summer months when they no longer have access to daily school meals, according to Feeding America. Here in the Coachella Valley, PSUSD is stepping up to help.
From now through July 9, children and teens can receive free breakfast and lunch at various school sites and community centers across the district. No registration is required, but meals must be eaten on campus. Summer school programs, which begin June 10, will provide meals to students.
Participating school sites include:
Desert Hot Springs High School
Palm Springs High School
