PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - Organizations across South Dakota will serve free meals to children and adolescents this summer as part of a federal program.

Individuals age 18 and younger can get a free meal at participating locations, including nonprofits, schools, libraries and local government offices.

The Summer Food Service Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered in South Dakota by the state Department of Education.

Individuals can find facilities serving meals by using the online tool available at www.fns.usda.gov/summerfoodrocks . The state Education Department says people should periodically check for feeding sites as more will be added regularly to the Summer Meal Site Finder.

Information is also available by texting “food” to 877-877.
