Children and teens ages 18 and younger can receive free, nutritious meals this summer through participating camps, summer schools, and other enrolled summer programs across Oregon. These meals help ensure children continue to have access to healthy food while school is out and support their health and well-being throughout the summer.
Children who receive SNAP, TANF, Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits, or are in foster care are automatically eligible for free meals at participating enrolled programs. Other children may also qualify based on household income.
Visit the Oregon Department of Education’s Newsletter to learn more about eligibility, participating programs, and how to find a summer meal site.
