Summer Food Programs
Food programs for school-age children
When school lets out for the summer, a child's need for food does not go away. Some areas provide summer food options for children at a low cost or for free. To find out if your child's school offers breakfast or lunch programs, contact your local school district and ask to speak with someone about nutrition programs available through the school.
The Seamless Summer Option program lets families pick up free food from their local school district, even if they do not qualify for free and reduced-price meals.
