The Summer Meals Program is a federal Summer Food Service Program, a nutritional program that provides free meals and snacks to kids and teens during the summer months. No proof of income, address or citizenship is ever required.
Summer meal sites are located in schools, recreation centers, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and camps.
If you have a question about Summer Meals, call the Family Food Hotline at 1-888-436-6392. The website is: https://www.parenthelp123.org/resources/summer-meals-program
Here are locations near us. Note that meals served, hours, and dates vary. See the website for which organization (and contact info) is sponsoring each site.

Yes! This sounds like an excellent plan. Who does the cooking, and is there any way for people to volunteer?
I suggest you call the phone number on the post for that information. 🙂 Also, the website lists what organization sponsors each site. I’ve updated the post to explain this. Contact info for each organization is on the website.
Nathan Hale High School (M-F, 12:00-1:30 pm, June 23 to August 29) is another location in our area that might appeal to older kids.
In Lake City, Hunger Intervention Program is the sponsor that provides the meals. There are four sites in the area:
– Lake City Community Center (12531 28th Ave NE)
– Nathan Hale High School (10750 30th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98125)

Lunches are from 12:00-1:30, and a free snack is served from 3:00-3:30 at the Lake City Community Center and Lake City Court 🙂
