This program is part of the USDA’s Seamless Summer Option, ensuring that children continue to receive healthy meals even when school is out.

Meals are served at thousands of sites across the U.S. that are registered with the USDA and are at safe places, such as schools, churches, and community centers.
Sites are located in areas where 50% or more of children in the area are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals.

Many sites offer fun learning and recreational activities, as well as free food. Meals served follow USDA nutrition guidelines.

Barriers to participation include a lack of accessible summer meals sites, transportation issues due to family work schedules, not being aware of the programs, and worrying about safety of sites.
Families don’t need to apply to the program or show proof of income.

USDA is also making SUN Meals more convenient! Households in a rural communities where SUN Meals are hard to access, may be able to get SUN Meals To-Go.
This means families can get summer meals for your kids picked up or delivered to their homes at no cost.

SUN Meals To-Go may have a different name in different parts of the state, but the benefit is the same: nutritious meals for kids and teens.
