Notes
Did you know that there are more than 400 sites in Oregon where children ages 1 through 18 can get a free meal and have some fun this summer? We have a searchable database of community sites across Oregon offering free lunches—and sometimes breakfasts and snacks—for all children.
Meal sites are hosted at a wide range of community locations, including parks, schools, community centers, churches, pools, etc
And because children find fun as important as food during summer vacation, many sites offer free or low-cost activities along with the meals.
This program is intended to serve children. However, in some cases, sites can sell meals to parents for a small fee, or provide free meals to parent volunteers. Check with staff at your local site for more information.
How the Summer Food Service Program Works
During the school year, thousands of Oregon children depend on free or reduced price meals each day. However, when school ends for the year, so does this important resource. The Summer Food Service Program is meant to help fill that nutritional gap.
Funding for meals is provided by the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Summer Food Service Program. All open sites are located in neighborhoods that USDA considers high need areas. However, no application or proof of income is needed to participate, and all children are welcome!
To find out which sponsors operate in your area, call the Oregon Hunger Relief Task Force, 503-595-5502, or see the meal sites list at website.
It's easier than ever to find summer food and fun. Just select your county to see a map and list of Summer Meal Sites near you.
At Summer Meal Sites, you'll find free lunches and often free activities too.
