Free Summer Meals for Children

Attention Parents and Guardians!

Pymatuning Valley Local Schools has signed up to participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) with the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce and the USDA.  USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender.

There is no income requirement to participate. 

The SFSP is a program where we ship food to your door. We will send 10 breakfasts and 10 lunches to your location (which must be inside the Pymatuning Valley Local School District boundaries). Every child ages 1 to 18 (and children 19-21 on an IEP) is eligible to get 1 box every 10 days. Open enrollment students are not eligible for this program. There is no cost to the child or the parent. 

The boxes have insulated liners to retain the temperature of the boxes. We will have both refrigerated and frozen products in each box as well as shelf-stable items. The boxes also include a disposable thermometer strip in each box that is easy to read and will turn red if the meals are no longer safe to eat. The boxes can stay temperature controlled for around 35 hours. They will be shipped by FedEx and will send notifications to the email supplied on the permission slip. 

If you have questions, please contact Jodie Fetters at 440-293-6488 option 5 or jodie.fetters@pvschools.org .
