La Vina Elementary Was an Official Summer Meal Site in June 2026

LA VINA, Madera County — The California Department of Education included La Vina Elementary School among the open summer-meal locations for Madera County during the 2026 season.

The state list identifies the school at 8594 Road 23, Madera, CA 93637, under Madera Unified School District. It records meal service dates of June 9 through June 30, 2026, and indicates both breakfast and lunch at the location.

What families should know

Summer meal sites are important in smaller communities where reaching a large town or other services requires travel. However, the state calendar describes a completed June program, not free meals being distributed there in November. Families looking for current food assistance should contact Madera Unified or the relevant county services to confirm active programs and eligibility.

Residents can use the California Department of Education’s official summer-sites directory to compare locations, sponsoring districts and service dates. School-year meals, holiday programs and future summer distributions follow their own schedules and should never be assumed from the June listing.
