summer meal program

Summer is here, which means it is time for free summer meal fun for kids and teens ages 18 and younger! Free summer meals are available to enjoy at any of our sites across our community starting Wednesday, May 28. All sites are open, meaning you don’t need to be in school or even live in the community where the meal is served, as long as you are 18 & under, you can show up to any site and receive a free meal. We will have two open school sites, and the Food Truck will be traveling to two different mobile sites.
