LPSS Launches Summer Food Program for Children Across Parish

(Lafayette, LA) - The Lafayette Parish School System will again offer two options for students in the system who are 18 and under in age to receive meals during the summer.

The meals are open to all Lafayette Parish School System students.

The 2026 Summer Feeding Program will offer two options: non-congregate meal box distribution or on-site meal service, available at some schools.

Lafayette Boxes Meals for Students Can Be Obtained by Registration
