CENTRAL, Texas — Round Rock ISD, Pflugerville ISD, Del Valle ISD and Austin ISD are providing free lunches throughout the summer.
In Round Rock, children who are 18 years old or younger and enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old can participate in the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) program, which provides healthy, no-cost summer meals.
“Round Rock children need good nutrition year-round so they can learn, grow and succeed in life,” said Yana Koleva, the district's food service director. “With nearly 2 million food-insecure children living in Texas, these healthy meals are vital to nourishing young Texans during the summer vacation.”
In order for children to participate in the SSO program, they must be on-site to eat the free meal. Parents will not need to register or provide proof of age, income or residence.
