Free breakfasts and lunches available to local children this summer

The state is getting ready to kickoff the 2013 Summer BreakSpot program, which offers free nutritious meals, recreational fun and educational activities for eligible children under 18 at more than 3,400 locations across Florida.

Last year the program provided more than 10 million meals to more than 230,000 children throughout the summer.

Summer BreakSpot is part of the national Summer Food Service Program, a federally funded program operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered in Florida by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Eligible sponsors, including nonprofit organizations, schools and local governments, serve nutritious meals and snacks free to low-income children under the age of 18 during the summer months.

There will be four locations for the Summer breakspots in Franklin County this summer.

They include Project impact and the Apalachicola bay Charter School in Apalachicola, the Learning Center in Eastpoint and the nest program site in Carrabelle.
