MPS serves free breakfast and lunch at 91 school locations
Milwaukee Public Schools is offering free breakfast and lunch to children and teens 18 years of age and under. Summer meals, including dinner at many sites, are served now through the beginning of August at school locations throughout Milwaukee. The summer meal program provides free, healthy meals and is combined with other summer programming.
“Our students can enjoy summer learning, fun activities and healthy meals over the summer months,” said MPS Superintendent Dr. Keith Posley. MPS is proud to participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
Families can find the nearest meal location or meal service dates and time by dialing 211 from a cell phone or (866) 211-3380 from a landline phone. Neon green signs are outside schools to help designate locations of free meals. Below is a chart of MPS summer meal locations.
