Reese Public Schools announced its 2026 Summer Food Service Program, sponsored through the Michigan Department of Education Office of Health and Nutrition Services, to provide free breakfasts and lunches to children and certain young adults with disabilities. The program runs June 8–July 30, 2026 at Reese Elementary and Reese Middle School, including on-site service and multi-day meal pick‑ups, indicating a need for reliable food supply, packaging, and potentially logistics support. While this notice is primarily informational, it confirms active use of USDA/MDE nutrition funding to operate a multi-site meal service, which typically depends on contracted food products, delivery, and possibly POS or tracking systems.Vendors in K‑12 nutrition (food distributors, meal packaging, cold storage, tracking/claim software, and outreach/translation services) can position follow-on offerings or efficiencies for current and future summers with the district’s food service team.

Contact info provided: 989-345-9864 and [email protected] for questions about the program; indicates a live operational contact for nutrition-related vendors.
