BATTLE GROUND — Children and teens ages 1-18 can enjoy a free lunch this summer through the Simplified Summer Food Program (SSFP) for children. The program is funded through a grant from the Department of Agriculture and provides lunches Monday through Friday at two Battle Ground locations.
The program will be offered in Battle Ground at:
- Kiwanis Park, 422 SW Second Ave., from June 28-Aug. 18. Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
- River HomeLink School Cafeteria, 610A SW Eaton Blvd., from July 10-Aug. 4. Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Sponsored by Battle Ground Public Schools, the program addresses the need for nutritious meals during the summer months when school is not in session. Children do not need to attend a Battle Ground school to participate; all children and teens are welcome.
