During the school year, children have access to a hot, nutritionally balanced lunch at school. For those who arrive early enough, breakfast is also included. Many of these students receive the meals for free or at a reduced price due to family income levels. But come summer, many may go hungry. That's why the Washougal School District will sponsor the Simplified Summer Food Program for the fifth year in a row. During July and August, free hot and sack lunches will be offered to all children, ages 1 through 18, who want to come.
