Temple, Texas ISD To Offer Free Meals In Summer Of 2024

School is out in Temple, Texas, and many students are excited.

It's a chance for everyone to rest, relax, and most importantly, recharge after a long school year. Vacations have been planned, no homework has been assigned, and it's all about having some fun before the new school year starts again.

But, there's one thing that some children in Central Texas will miss, and that is a meal during the day. The importance of a young individual getting essential nutrients cannot be understated. But how will those without access to certain foods be able to get said meal?
