If you haven’t already been taking part, you may be surprised to know that these meals are for all school-aged kids and are 100% free with no paperwork to qualify. Summer meals are served or distributed not only from schools, but often also churches and community centers. In previous years, these summer meal sites could only be located in low-income areas, but the waivers allow for more locations. The USDA has a summer meal finder that will help you find a location near you.
