Double fresh fruits and vegetables for SNAP participants.

The program is launching at Lowe’s Market in Aurora, 10777 E Colfax Ave.

DPS Summer Meal Program

During the school year, more than 18 million children receive free and reduced-price meals at school. During the summer, that number drops to about 3 million. The DPS Summer Meal provides meals to all children at no charge, regardless of income, race or religion.

Any child between 1 and 18 years of age will receive a meal at no charge. Adults can purchase a meal for the minimal charge of $3.00. Registration is not required. Just show up for breakfast or lunch during serving times. The rules are simply that adults may not eat off a child’s plate and all meals must be eaten on site.
