Hunger Doesn’t take a Vacation.
If your children eat school meals for free or at a reduced price during the school year, a free meal program is also available during the summer. Summer Meals provide free, nutritious snacks and meals to children ages eighteen and younger. Check this list to find a site near you.
According to a recent national survey of low-income families, 43% state it’s harder to make ends meet in the summer months. Families spending more on food say that on average, their grocery bills are about $300 higher every month that kids are out of school. More than 21 million kids in the U.S. rely on free and reduced-price school lunches for their nutritional needs during the school year, yet fewer than 3 million children participate in a summer meal program.
Columbia Meals are served from 11 am to 1 p.m., must be eaten on site, and start June 4 and end on August 17 (closed 4th of July)
Open site (will serve all children ages 18 and under, no income requirement, no registration required)
