While the majority of students celebrate the start of summer break, a growing portion of their peers finds these months especially challenging. When the school year ends, so does their opportunity to have regular meals.
However, several community groups are working to make sure no child goes hungry.
Garland ISD offers free meals twice day throughout most of the summer. Breakfast lasts 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and lunch lasts noon to 12:30 p.m.
