These schools in Cudahy, St. Francis, South Milwaukee are running free meal programs this summer

Kids and teens this summer can grab free, nutritious lunches at sites in the St. Francis, South Milwaukee and Cudahy school districts.

Cudahy will also provide free breakfasts.

Those who are 18 years old and under can get entrees, milk, veggies and fruit at the meals sites. The programs fill a void created when free and reduced priced school lunches are unavailable during summer break, school officials said.

Meals are available to all youth who live in the (school) district for the summer. However, they do not have to attend the district where a meal site is located and there are no income or registration requirements, according to federal guidelines.
