Based on the recent announcement from the USDA, we are excited to announce the return of the Summer Seamless Program, free meals to all. All Empower Generations / Innovation Studios families are invited to participate in the program at iLEAD Lancaster. iLEAD Lancaster will be providing meals to all children up to 18 years of age at no charge. You do not need to be an enrolled learner in order to receive free meals. Each child will receive one grab-and-go breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday except on holidays. Children need not be present to pick up.
Meals will be grab-and-go with minimal contact and may not be consumed on-site. Breakfast and lunch will be served together at iLEAD Lancaster Monday-Friday, 9:00-11:00 AM.
