SUMMER MEALS PROGRAM

Open to the community, our Summer Meals Program provides free nutritious meals and snacks to children that visit partnering sites like local community centers, schools, churches, and other non-profits.

June 5th, 2023 – August 4th, 2023

Thousands of children in our community rely on free or reduced meals provided at school during the school year. For some, it’s the only meal they receive each day. For many families, instead of summer being a time for fun and relaxation, it’s a stressful time as they struggle to provide food for their children, especially due to the seasonal nature of employment opportunities on the Treasure Coast. Children who visit our partnering sites receive a meal and also participate in fun enrichment activities and physical activities focused on the promotion of healthy eating and healthy living.
