Free meals are available for children this summer in over 30 states across the country.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a federally-funded, state-administered program that provides children 18 years and younger with free meals and snacks. Most kids get one or two meals per day, eaten on-site or taken to go. Up to three daily meals are also distributed to kids through these sites as well as summer camps.
Find a meal service site near you by using USDA’s Summer Meals Site Finder below! You may also text “Summer Meals” to 914-342-7744 or call 1-866-348-6479 to find a site near you.
