NICEVILLE, Fla. — The Okaloosa County School District (OCSD) is offering balanced breakfasts and lunches at no cost for children 18 and under during June and July through its Summer Food Service Program.
The free meals are available at selected schools and served on-site, according to the OCSD. Some sites are already providing meals; the others begin on Monday, June 6.
