Summer Meals Program
Nearly 50 percent of K-12 students in San Diego County rely on the free or reduced-price meals provided at school. When school closes for the summer, many students lose access to the nutritious food they need to thrive. Instead of enjoying summer fun, families face tighter budgets without school meals to sustain them. Our summer meals program helps meet the needs of kids and families during summer vacation.
As part of the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), Feeding San Diego provides breakfast, lunch, and snack as meal options to youth ages 1-18. A range of locations host these meal distributions, including libraries and rec centers.
Summer Meals Program Testimonial
I like coming here for the food. I always know there’s going to be good food and it makes me happy. The chicken wraps are really good. I really appreciate non-profit organizations and the people who help them because without them, the program wouldn’t start and the food wouldn’t come in, kids wouldn’t be as fueled or have energy to play or do their homework.
