The Okaloosa County School District will participate in the Summer Food Service Program during the 2026 summer break, providing free meals to children when school is out of session.

  • Through the Summer Break Spot initiative, the district will offer balanced breakfasts and lunches at no cost to all children under 18.

In alignment with updated U.S. Department of Agriculture and Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services guidelines, meals must be consumed on site at designated school locations during scheduled times. Grab-and-go and “to-go” options will no longer be available.

The program supports geographic areas where at least 50% of children are eligible for free or reduced-price meals during the school year. Sites will serve students in summer programs and children in the surrounding community. Meals will not be served on weekends or July 3.

Serving times and site status are subject to change. For participating schools and additional details, families can visit https://www.okaloosaschools.com/article/2943106.
