Many families count on school meals for their students, and summer can be very challenging for kids who normally get breakfast and lunch at school. That’s why the District has a Free Summer Meals Program, open to all kids and youth under the age of 18. The program makes FREE breakfast and lunch available to all children and youth 18 and younger across the city all summer long!

The program runs from June 17 – August 23, though some sites open June 24.  These sites serve breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday to any student up to and including age 18.  Breakfast will be served from 8 – 9:30 am and lunch will be served from 11:30 am – 1 pm.

Children and youth are welcome at any school or site to receive a meal; they don’t need to be in a summer school program and they do not need to show ID for a free meal. 

Here is the full list of DCPS Free Summer Meals locations.   For additional sites, text FOOD to 877-877, call 1(866) 3-Hungry, or check out the location map.
