The USDA-funded program is designed to ensure kids have access to healthy food when school is out. The program is administered through the CT State Department of Education and offered locally through Bristol Public Schools. Summer lunches are available at the Bristol Public library, 5 High Street, for young people ages 18 and under.  Lunches are available at the library Monday through Friday, 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, ending  on August 15, 2025.
