A healthy lunch is a vital part of every child’s day-to-day life, and even though class is not in session, Poudre School District students will have access to this important resource all summer long through local programs.
Poudre School District Summer Food Program
The District offers its own free lunch program at three locations across PSD from June through August. The program is part of a program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Colorado Department of Education’s School Nutrition Unit in partnership with community-based program sponsors.
Lunch will be served from 12:30 to 1 p.m. June 1 through Aug. 7 at three locations:
- Putnam Elementary School, 1400 Maple St., Fort Collins
- Riffenburgh Elementary School, 1320 E. Stuart St., Fort Collins
- Linton Elementary School, 4100 Caribou Drive, Fort Collins
Lunch is free for all children 18 and younger and costs only $5 for adults. Please note that no meal services will be provided on June 19 or July 3.
