The Red River Parish Public School System is pleased to announce that they are participating in Summer Feeding beginning July 10.

In order to provide children with the most food, RRPSB is participating in the Rural Noncongregate Meal Option. This will be a box that contains shelf stable food for 7 days of breakfasts and 7 days of lunches.

The school system is trying to offer a variety of food and products so that there is something for everyone, however they realize that all tastes are different. There will be some variation based on availability but the box will always have milk, grains, meat/meat alternatives, fresh fruit and fruit juices, and extras.

Students can show up in person to receive one box per child. If a guardian chooses to pick up a box for their child or children, they must fill out a form and sign each week.

The boxes will be first come first serve from10:30am until 1pm on July 10 at the Red River High School cafeteria in the “horseshoe drive” under the covered area. RRPSB will try to accommodate as many as we can and will work as fast as possible to make things run smoothly and quickly.

The summer food stamps (Sun Bucks) will be available as well for qualifying families to help ease summer hunger. That is through the Department of Children and Family Services not through the schools.

Dates for Food Pick Up:
Wednesday, July 10  10:30 am -1 pm
Wednesday, 17  10:30 am -1 pm
Wednesday, July 24  10:30 am -1 pm
Tentatively Wednesday July 31
