Carbon County School District Two will distribute free food to children this summer.

During Tuesday’s Saratoga town council meeting, District Two Food Service Head Cook Josalyn Miller explained the school is sponsoring a free food program for all Saratoga youth.

Miller said she came before the governing body to request permission to distribute the free meals on town-owned property, specifically Kathy Glode Park and Veteran’s Island.

Miller stated School District Two is exploring the possibility of setting up a distribution center in the Medicine Waters Mobile Home Park but they will need to obtain the property owner’s approval beforehand.

Miller said school staff will manage the food distribution centers which will operate on a schedule that will work around the town’s needs.

Miller explained the free food program will run from July 1^st through the beginning of the school year.

Because the school employees will not sell or cook the food on site, Mayor Chuck Davis said they do not need a permit.

The Saratoga town council unanimously voted to allow Carbon County School District Two to use town-owned property to distribute free food this summer.
