Free ‘Supper Program’ Now Offered at 10 YISD Campuses

A total of ten campuses in the Ysleta Independent School District are now providing students in after school programs a free meal.

According to a district news release, Bel Air and Del Valle middle schools have been added to the list of district schools participating in the “supper program.” The initiative provides no cost meals to primarily to students who remain on campus for extracurricular activities such as band, theater, and sports after classes have been dismissed.

Instead of going hungry or opting for chips or cheap fast food, students can drop by the school cafeteria and grab a nutritious bite on their way to rehearsal or practice.

The free meals are available on school days beginning at around 4 p.m. to kids 18 and younger, but are also available for purchase by adults. The 10 YISD campuses participating are listed below.
