Free summer meals available for Oregon children amid changes to federal rules

According to a summary of Oregon programs, the sites may offer ‘a combination of breakfast, lunch, snack, or supper.’You can find summer program meal sites on websites for the Oregon Department of Education or the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or by calling 211 or texting ‘food’ or ‘comida’ to 304-304.But there are changes to the program this summer, with the end of federal waivers that had allowed more flexibility for families.
