Summer Food Services

  • GCPS Summer Food Services Program 

    The Garrett County Public Schools (GCPS) Food & Nutrition Services Department is happy to announce the return of the Summer Food Service Program. Distribution will be for seven days of free breakfasts and lunches and will begin the week of June 16, 2025.

    There are some changes this year to the Summer Food Service program, due to Federal clarifications in the regulations. Families or a designated person must register to receive meals. Families can register using an online form (https://forms.gle/SVJWiZd9L5xWgZXt7) or at one of the meal sites. Families that have not pre-registered will be required to bring their child(ren) or a report card with them the first time to pick up meals. Additionally, only two meals per day will be served this year. Seven days of breakfasts and lunches will be distributed per week. These meals will include fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, and entrees.

    There are thirty-eight (38) sites to choose from, on Tuesday or Wednesday each week. Some sites will be in the afternoon while others will be in the evening, enabling you to pick the one that best suits your schedule. Please remember that you can only pick up from one site per week.

    Students attending summer school are asked not to pick up meals at one of the sites. Meals will be provided at each school, and weekend bags will be provided to those students attending. Other children in the family will need to pick up at one of the meal sites.

    Families from outside of Garrett County are welcome, but will need to preregister or bring their children with them.
