Free Summer Breakfast And Lunch For Lee County Students
Today is the last day of school for kids in Lee County. Charlotte and Collier County students got a head start on their summer vacations and are already out. Summer is exciting but it can also be stressful for families that are experiencing food insecurities. The only consistent meals many children get are when they are in school. So what happens when school is out of session for a week or even months? Many students don’t eat. They go hungry. To help, there are organizations offering free summer breakfast and lunch for Lee County students along with others in Southwest Florida children.
With school out for summer break, many Lee County students wont get fed a daily breakfast or lunch. However, there is help. This help is offered to kids under 18 across the state of Florida.
Summer Break Spot is a statewide program that provides a variety of meal programs for kids who need good nutrition while they are out of school for the long summer break. Depending on the location, everything from snacks, to lunch, even dinner in some cases is provided. The food is free. At the time of this story, there are about 80 distribution locations planned for Lee County. Organizers often add more food sites as the summer goes on, and also depending on need.

List of Top 50 Party Schools in U.S.
44. College of Charleston
The Cistern at the College of Charleston
Charleston is a great town. It definitely has parts of it that feel like you’re in a small college town. But it also has parts that have the southern charm of a small town. Great food, great music, and great drinks.
40. University of Florida

Great weather, great college town, and a historically great athletic department (although it might be down right now).
38. University of CIncinnati

Cincinnati is a big metro area, so I knew there would be plenty of bars and restaurants. But the students at UC know how to party with the best of them.
36. University of Kansas

This was the scene after Kansas won the basketball national championship in 2022. Any student base that can create a scene like this has to know a thing or two about partying at an elite level.
35. James Madison University

JMU has been on the party scene for years. The campus is less than 100 miles from Washington DC, but still remote enough to have the college town feel.
24. Rutgers University- New Brunswick

Any student section that shows up in these numbers to support a well below average athletic department knows what they’re doing. Also being in New Jersey, they need to lift their spirits somehow.
