The Summer Food Service Program provides free meals to low-income children during school vacations. More than 26 million children eat school lunch every day when school is in session, and about half of them receive their meals free or at a reduced price due to low household income. The summer program offers those children nutritious food when school is not in session. During Summer 2016, Wisconsin served 2.8 million meals at 888 sites operated by 217 sponsoring organizations.
There are many organizations throughout Wisconsin that provide free healthy meals to children throughout the summer. You may use one or more of the following resources to find your nearest location:
- Locate a site on the Summer Meals Map

- 2-1-1 is a free, easy-to-remember phone number connecting callers with health and human services in their community.
