2023 Summer Lunch Program (Portage)

“Our goal is to have no child go hungry.” The Portage Summer Lunch Program (PSLP) ensures that youth continue to receive nutritious lunches when school is not in session. The PSLP provides free lunches to kids and teens throughout the summer.  It is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and implemented by the Wisconsin Dells School District, local partners, and community volunteers. Youth utilizing the sites will also receive a weekend pack of food on Fridays with their lunch. The weekend packs are made possible by the generous donations received from the community.
