- When school cafeterias close at the end of the academic year, students lose access to those daily, nutritious meals.
- The Summer Meal Programs help ensure Texas children have the food they need for an active, healthy summer.
What to expect when arriving at a Summer Meal Site:
- Welcoming faces in a supervised setting
- A healthy meal at no cost for children 18 years old or younger as well as eligible people with disabilities.
- A clean, supervised setting where children enjoy a balanced, nutrional meal
The schedules for a meal site are subject to change. Please call to confirm dates, times and meal-service details.
For more information, parents should visit SummerFood.org.
The Summer Meals Program provides no cost meals in low-income areas to the following:
- Texas students who are 18 years old or younger
- Enrolled Texas students up to the age of 21 with disabilities
