Summer Lunch Program

Could your family use more food this summer? How about free summer meals and snacks for kids?
The Summer Meals Program is a federal nutrition program that provides free meals and snacks for children 18 and under during the summer break. There are over 100 free Summer meal sites in King County, located in schools, parks, recreation centers, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and camps. Meals are served following USDA guidelines that specify the conditions of site supervision, food storage, portion size and nutritional value. In addition to meals, many sites provide fun activities for kids. Sites may be open from June through August, depending on your community.

All kids and teens (18 years old and younger) are eligible for the program. No proof of income, address or citizenship is ever required.

To find the location and time of Summer Meals sites nearest you, call the Family Food Hotline
1-888-4-FOOD-WA that 1-888-436-6392
or visit www.ParentHelp123.org to find your nearest Summer Meals sites online.
