HOUSTON - Houston ISD announced Thursday it's launching the 2021 summer meals program!

With summer school starting, HISD officials say Nutrition Services will host weekly curbside student meal pickups at 10 of the district's highest-need campuses. Additionally, they'll be held at the end of each week and provide students meals for the weekend as well as hand sanitizer and reusable masks.

Students enrolled in summer school will also be given a no-cost breakfast and lunch at school each day as well as weekend meals to take home.

"As we have learned from this past year, we have an overabundance of students from food-insecure households in HISD," Nutrition Services Officer Betti Wiggins said. "I’m grateful that we’re able to provide this program to help ensure our students continue to have access to good food through the summer."

The first curbside pickup will be held Friday, June 18 from 2 to 4 p.m. Students will get two days' worth of breakfast and lunch over the weekend. And starting Thursday, June 24, all remaining pickups will be held from 2 to 4 p.m., when students will get three days' worth of breakfast and lunch.

HISD says this program will run through the end of summer school.
