[UPDATE: Parkland College has also established Summer Meals program location. More on that at the News-Gazette here along with an updated listing of times and locations: Parkland College site added to free summer-lunch program.]

The Summer Meals Program will be available at local schools and the public health district building for kids who might miss out when school is out of session. Dates and times for meal options at Champaign schools here and at Urbana schools here. From the News-Gazette recently:

C-U Public Health District's summer-meal program for kids starts Tuesday
Summertime brings a temporary halt to food service at area schools, but a program hosted by the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District will again pick up the slack starting Tuesday.

Sponsored by the Illinois State Board of Education, the summer-meal program will offer free breakfasts and lunches for kids ages 1-18, regardless of where they live or how much money their families earn.

The meals will be served in the lobby of the public health district building at 201 W. Kenyon Road, C.

Breakfast will be served from 9-11 a.m. and lunch will be available from 12:30-2:30 p.m. on weekdays through mid-August.
