COUNTY LIFE
Summer lunch program opens Monday
Bowie Independent School District will be participating in the no-cost summer meal program for children.
In Bowie the summer meal program will be offered at the high school campus from June 3-13, Monday through Thursday each week while summer school is in session.
Breakfast is served 7:30-8 a.m. and lunch, 11 a.m to 12:30 p.m.
Healthy summer meals make a difference.
- In Texas, more than 1 in 5 children struggle with hunger.
- When the school year ends, children often lose access to consistent, nutritious school meals.
- The Summer Meals Program ensures more Texas children have enough food for an active, healthy life.
Wondering what’s in store for you and your children when you arrive at a summer meal site? Expect welcoming faces in a supervised setting, and a healthy, meal at no cost to children 18 and younger and eligible people with disabilities.
Meal site schedules are subject to change. Please call to confirm dates, times and meal-service details.
For more information, parents should visit SummerFood.org.
The Summer Meals Program provides meals at no cost to children and teens 18 years old and younger in low-income areas.
Participating families do not have to apply register or provide identification. The U.S. Department of Agriculture funds the Summer Meals Program – including the Summer Food Service Program and the Seamless Summer Option. The Texas Department of Agriculture administers the Summer Meals Program in Texas.
More fun is on the horizon for downtown Bowie with the changing of the seasons as the staff and volunteer of Bowie Community Development bring more activities starting with Harvest Sip & Stroll on Oct. 4, the night before Chicken and Bread Days.
Harvest Sip & Stroll With Me welcomes more than 20 participating merchants that will join fiddlers, horse-drawn carriage rides and a cool fall harvest photobooth for strollers to enjoy.
It is just $15 for Sip armband which includes a commemorative souvenir Sip glass. Previous strollers are encouraged to bring their past Sip glass as supplies are limited. See what is new and true to downtown Bowie along with many other popup shops. All proceeds go to the beautification projects for City of Bowie Community Development.
Cindy Roller, BCD director, invites strollers to find those perfect treasures: Jewelry, refreshments, apparel, shoes, fun hat bars, leather works, antiques, 3D printing and electronics, local beef and much more. Dine in Bowie while enjoying this fun event.
