Summer Food Service Program

The Summer Food Service Program provides free meals to children 18 years of age and under. The program will operate in 2024 from June 10 through Aug. 14.

The program provides free:

• Nutritionally balanced meals during summer recess when school breakfasts and lunches are not available
• Hot and cold meals at participating sites via on site consumption, ensuring maximum compliance to health and safety standards
• Items featured on the menus are made fresh, from locally sourced foods that children will enjoy
