Help Reach NY Kids and Teens with Summer Meals

This summer, kids and teens ages 18 and under can get free, healthy meals at sites across the state through USDA’s Summer Food Service Program. Most sites are “open” sites, where there is no sign-up or paperwork required; kids can just drop by when meals are served.

Starting in early July, families can use the following tools to find nearby sites:

·         Text “food” to 304-304

·         Use the map on SummerMealsNY.org

·         Call 211 or 311 (in NYC), or 1-866-3-HUNGRY

Please note: the texting hotline and the online map will not be fully populated until early July.

Local sponsors and sites may be able to provide their site information earlier than it will be available on national and statewide site finder tools. Please encourage families to make use of our directory to find their local sponsors.

You can help spread the word about summer meals using the free, easy-to-use resources on SummerMealsNY.org, including flyers in English and Spanish, sample social media posts, graphics you can add to your website and e-news, and more.
