Pocatello, Idaho–Now in its twenty-fourth year of operation, the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District 25 is gearing up for the 2024 Summer Food Service Program. Meals will be provided to all children ages 1-18 without charge. Adults may purchase a lunch for just $5.00. Acceptance and participation requirements for the program and all activities are the same for all, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. Meals will be provided at the following sites:

The Summer Food Service Program is a wonderful program. For many children, this is the only meal they will get during the summer days while parents are working. However, this program does more than serve needy families – it promotes health and well-being, and provides an opportunity for all families in the community to enjoy the wonderful parks our city has to offer while enjoying a nutritious meal. The program also opens up a great opportunity for strengthening community relationships across all backgrounds. Our community has been very supportive of the SFSP through the years, and we are looking forward to another great summer.
