But I remember our babysitter just taking a whole gang of us kids and some of those kids did not attend my school, so I don't know how they checked?</p> <p><a href="http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Lunch/AboutLunch/NSLPFactSheet.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Lunch/AboutLunch/NSLPFactSheet.pdf</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-take-advantage-of-free-school-lunch-during-the-summer#post-1080317 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:47:19 +0000 DillonLion 1080317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My district didn't offer this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-take-advantage-of-free-school-lunch-during-the-summer#post-1080228 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:59:54 +0000 PurplePeony 1080228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of this before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-take-advantage-of-free-school-lunch-during-the-summer#post-1080220 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:57:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1080220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure. My grandparents lived in a low income area and free lunches were passed out on her block over the summer. When I visited her over the summer I would sometimes eat the free lunch. I don't know if everyone had to sign up or who really sponsored the lunches or how they knew how many lunches to provide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-take-advantage-of-free-school-lunch-during-the-summer#post-1080157 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:36:04 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1080157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>does this mean if you qualified for free lunch during the school year, they would also serve you free lunch during the summer?</p> <p>I have never heard of it. Maybe my district didn't offer it. Also, I was homeschooled until high school. I didn't qualify for school lunch, and I drove off-campus to eat McDonalds or Burger King every FRICKING DAY. I have no idea how I wasn't obese. I ate fast food 7 days a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-take-advantage-of-free-school-lunch-during-the-summer#post-1080151 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:34:20 +0000 mrsjyw 1080151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never even knew that it existed until now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ever-take-advantage-of-free-school-lunch-during-the-summer#post-1080147 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 15:33:24 +0000 Dandelion 1080147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think my school district had this.
