TFSD Summer Feeding Program Expands to Include Breakfast and Afternoon Snacks

The Twin Falls School District (TFSD) is excited to announce significant enhancements to its Summer Feeding Program. For the first time, breakfast will be available at select locations in addition to the existing lunch and afternoon snack services. This expansion aims to provide comprehensive nutritional support to children throughout the summer months.

Key Changes for Summer 2024

Breakfast Now Available

Recognizing the importance of a healthy start to the day, TFSD has introduced breakfast services at several locations. This addition ensures that children have access to nutritious meals from the beginning of the day, which can significantly benefit their overall health and well-being.

Afternoon Snacks Added

In another effort to provide consistent nutrition, afternoon snacks will be available at some locations. This service ensures that children remain nourished throughout the day, supporting their growth and energy levels for summer activities.
