USDA Summer Meals for Kids Site Finder!
Summer Meal Programs help close the nutrition gap children face when schools let out for summer, when children no longer receive school meals they relied on throughout the school year. USDA works closely with states to ensure that children who receive free or reduced-price school meals can get the nutrition they need when schools are closed – whether during summer break or unexpected closures during the school year. Through USDA's summer meal programs, approved sites in communities across the country can serve meals to kids up to age 18 at no cost. Families can use this tool to find directions to nearby meal sites, as well as their hours of operation and contact information.

Call 1-866-3-Hungry, or 1-877-8Hambre, or visit: www.fns.usda.gov/summerfoodrocks

Meal sites are added and removed throughout the summer, so check the webpage often to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.
