Nine Ideas for Summer Fun Engage in Special Needs Activities

Palm Beach County Board of County CommissionersDave Kerner, Mayor; Robert S. Weinroth, Vice Mayor; Maria G. Marino; Gregg K. Weiss; Maria Sachs; Melissa McKinlay; Mack Bernard 6/21

15 Palm Beach County Library locations serve as meal distribution sites for the Palm Beach County Youth Services Department’s Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).

The SFSP provides meals to eligible children age 18 and under during the summer months (June through August) and in times of emergency. Meals are also available to persons with disabilities, over age 18, who participate in school programs for people who are mentally or physically disabled.

Parents picking up kits without their child present must bring identification for the child. Acceptable forms of identification include student ID, child’s passport or other government-issued ID, birth certificate, adoption decree, immunization records, and school demographics. Meal kits will not be provided to parents who do not bring their child or do not provide proper identification.

Families without transportation may walk up to collect meal kits.
