The D.C. Summer Meals Program is FREE to ALL children ages 18 and younger. There is no application, no sign-up, and no id required to receive a meal. Sites are open June through August.
This year, many of the D.C. Summer Meal feeding sites, ranging from schools to community based organizations, are a continuation of the emergency feeding sites initially set up in spring as a result of COVID-19 related school closures. Additional sites have been added to ensure all children have access to healthy meals this summer.
You can find a site near you by texting “Food” to 304-304.
