JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has launched a 24-hour hotline for families seeking free meals for children under the age of 18. โFor so many of Floridaโs children, school meals are the only meals they can count on โ thatโs why weโre now providing even more ways to secure healthy, nutritious meals for kids,โ Fried said. โFloridians can now find Summer BreakSpot free meal locations by text, by phone, and online, with additional locations being added every day.
