Families interested in additional food assistance over summer break can go to the Loudoun Feeds website and click on the “Find Food” button to find a list of community partners who will have adequate food supplies on hand. Loudounfeeds.org provides a calendar that shows the date, time, location and requirements of open food pantries. 

We understand that this is a change from the past two summers when additional federal funding allowed for expanded LCPS meal services. This summer, operations and fundings are returning to pre-COVID norms.

 

Please note: LCPS’ Summer Meals Program differs from summer school meals. The Summer Meals Program is a free meal program that helps families needing extra assistance during the summer. Locations must be applied for/approved by VDOE. Summer school meals are an extension of the regular school year. Summer school meals have a fee and are an option for all students attending LCPS summer school. Application for assistance can be submitted any time.

 

If you have any questions, please reach out to School Nutrition Services at cafe@lcps.org.
