Volusia County has announced its Community Assistance Division is sponsoring a food service program from June 6 through August 12 that provides free breakfast and lunch to children under eighteen years old.

The program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will provide nutritionally balanced meals over summer break while schools are closed.

All children must remain onsite while eating their meals, and all sites will be closed on July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
