Snacks will be served congregate style at a designated enclosed area for each park location. This free nutrition program will run for a total 34 weeks. Please see dates below for when the program will not be offered due to county holidays.

September 3, 2024- May 23, 2025
Snack is served from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Created to help reduce the growing percentage of young people in the United States challenged by obesity or lack of consistent access to wholesome meals, the program aims to provide a healthy alternative for students when the school day is done. In order for participating parks to qualify for the program, they must service areas within the geographical boundaries of elementary, middle, or high school attendance areas with at least 50% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price school meals.
Please note that there will be no snack on County observed holidays.
