For many kids, the end of the school year is a celebration of unstructured summer days and no homework. But for other kids -- too many kids -- the end of the school year also means the end of a guaranteed food source.
More than 30 million students in the United States rely on their schools for a meal at least once a week, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
To combat the effects of food insecurity for kids, the U.S. Department of Agriculture offers nutritious, free meals to kids ages 18 and under during the summer months.
- The Summer Meals Program is held at libraries, camps, churches, parks, schools, food trucks, and even school buses throughout the country.
- No enrollment, no cost.
