Mission, Texas- With the ending of the official school year, the Mission Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) Child Nutrition Program will officially transition into a summer meals program. However, the main portion of the program will be very familiar to the community as it reflects a continuation of the Curbside Meals Pick Up program that has been in place since August 2020.
The Curbside Meal Pick Up program is offered once a week, on Thursdays at nine different locations throughout the district. The new times for the Curbside program, beginning June 10, are 3:30-6:30 p.m. The nine locations are: Bryan Elementary School, 1300 Elm Drive, Mission; Cantu Elementary School, 920 W. Main Avenue, Alton; Mims Elementary School, 200 E. Two Mile Road, Mission; Marcell Elementary School, 1101 N. Holland, Mission; Leal Elementary School of Technology and Engineering, 318 S. Los Ebanos Road, Mission; O’Grady Elementary School, 810 W. Griffin Parkway, Mission; R. Cantu Jr. High School, 5101 N. Stewart Road, Palmhurst; Mission Collegiate High School, 605 S. Los Ebanos Blvd., Alton; Mission High School, 1802 Cleo Dawson, Mission.
Any child 18 years or younger qualifies for the free meals, regardless of where they go to school. Each child receives 7 breakfasts and 7 lunches (14 meals total), including 2 half gallons of milk. Meals are frozen, refrigerated, shelf stable, and fresh.
If the child is not in the vehicle for the curbside pick up, some sort of proof of the child and their age must be provided. Any of the following is acceptable: a school ID or ID number, school issued barcode with student’s name, report card, progress report, letter from the campus principal that is dated and on district letterhead, any printout from the district’s Tyler Student Information System with the student’s name, birth certificate, any form of identification that has the child’s name and age indicated.
Additional summer meals feeding locations will be opening later in the summer. Those include: Mission Boys and Girls Club, 209 Cleo Dawson, Mission; Alton Recreation Center, 349 W. Dawes, Alton, beginning June 14; El Divino Redentor, 1020 Los Ebanos Road, Mission, beginning July 5; The Bridge Church, 2820 N. Conway Avenue, Mission, beginning July 12. Call each location for specific times, or the Mission CISD Child Nutrition Program at 956-323-3800.
