Kalispell Public Schools, Whitefish School District and Libby School District will serve free meals to children over the summer.

The summer food service program is administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition Program. It was developed to ensure children who live in areas with a significant concentration of low-income families continue receiving nutritious meals when school is not in session.
