To ensure local children continue to receive proper nutrition while school is out of session, Bryant Public Schools has announced the return of its annual Summer Food Program.
Starting June 1, 2026, the school district will offer free, healthy meals to any child or teenager up to 18 years of age. Participation is completely open to the public; children do not need to be enrolled in Bryant Public Schools to receive a meal, and no advance registration or paperwork is required.
Meals will be available Monday through Friday from June 1 until July 31, 2026. However, families should note that all service locations will be closed the week of June 29 through July 3, 2026, in observance of the 4th of July holiday.
The district will operate the program out of four convenient local pickup sites with varying breakfast and lunch schedules:
- Bryant Junior High School (301 Hill Farm Rd.)
- Breakfast: 7:00 a.m. – 8:30 a.m.
- Lunch: 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
- Bryant Youth Association / Bishop Park (6401 Boone Road)
- Breakfast: 7:30 a.m. – 8:00 a.m.
