Families planning to participate in ChurchillCSD's free summer meal program will need to follow new pickup requirements this year, including providing proof of eligibility when children are not present.

ChurchillCSD is participating in the Summer Food Service Program, which offers free meals to all children ages 2 to 18 at locations throughout Churchill County. Under updated program guidelines, children must either be present when meals are picked up or a parent or guardian must provide a birth certificate or school ID for each child receiving meals.

According to ChurchillCSD, the change marks a departure from previous years, when children did not need to be present during meal pickup.

Meals will be available at several ChurchillCSD-operated sites Monday through Thursday from June 8 through June 25. Numa Elementary School, Churchill County Middle School, and Churchill County High School will serve breakfast from 7:30 to 8 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m. to noon. Meals at those locations must be consumed on site.

Beginning July 9, families may also pick up meal kit food boxes each Thursday through Aug. 6 at Numa Elementary School from 11 a.m. to noon. The meal kits include food items and recipe cards for meals that can be assembled at home. Children must be present at pickup, or a parent or guardian must provide a birth certificate or school ID.

Additional community meal sites will operate throughout the summer. Oats Park will serve lunch from noon to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday from June 8 through Aug. 6, and is open to all children ages 2 to 18. Children must be present, or a parent or guardian must provide a birth certificate or school ID.

The Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe will provide lunch and a snack from noon to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday from June 8 through Aug. 6. Meals at the tribal site must be consumed on site.

The Fallon Youth Club will offer breakfast and dinner for club members from June 22 through Aug. 14, except June 19 and July 3, while SUMFUN/Cottage School C.A.R.E. will provide lunch and a snack for program participants from June 8 through Aug. 20.

No meals will be served on June 19 or from June 29 through July 3.

The Summer Food Service Program is designed to help ensure children continue to have access to nutritious meals when school is not in session.
