Free Lunch Program for Michigan kids 
According to Michigan.gov, “Districts can provide 2 free meals per day to all children up to age 18 and students ages 18-26 with an active IEP. Some schools are offering pick-up meals, some are sending food out on bus routes, some are using their summertime food service locations. You don’t necessarily have to go to your child’s school if there is another school closer to your home. Check your school’s website to find out what’s available in the district.” See here
