Temperatures nearing 100 degrees weren’t enough to stop families from converging on the Michael Naggar Community Park in Temecula Tuesday, June 28, for a nutritious meal as part of Temecula’s Summer Food Service Program.
The program through The Temecula Community Services Department’s Human Services Division offers meals every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 11 a.m. on a first come, first serve basis for children 18 years and younger and individuals with disabilities, the city said.
Food isn’t all children and teens get when they attend the event, enrichment activities are also offered, the city said.
Meals are served on a first come, first serve basis and there are no income requirements or registration required to participate but parental supervision is required.
“Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture partners with local organizations like the city of Temecula to provide free meals to children when school is out for the summer,” the city said, adding that the program will continue through Aug. 4.
