Info

P.S./I.S. 268 is a New York City Department of Education public school serving grades K through 8 in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens. Each summer the building operates as a Free Summer Meals site under the NYC Summer Food Service Program, offering free grab-and-go breakfast and lunch to any child or teen 18 years old or younger. The program is run citywide by the NYC Department of Education's Office of Food and Nutrition Services and serves ready-to-eat meals on a walk-in basis with no identification, paperwork, income verification, or registration required. School-year enrollees come largely from low-income families, with more than four in five students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch during the regular academic year.
