Kids and Teens Eat Free - All Summer

During the school year, more than 100,000 low-income children in Philadelphia eat free and reduced-price meals. But when school is out and summer is here, tens of thousands of those kids are missing out on the nutrition they need. Free summer meals help fill that gap. Spread the word about free summer meals for kids and teens. There are more than 1,000 sites serving free summer meals throughout the city. Sites include recreation centers, parks, places of worship, schools and community organizations. To find their nearest site, families can call our Philly Summer Meals Hotline at 855-252-MEAL or text "MealPA" to 877877. Share this important information with your community, so all Philadelphia children will have the food they need this summer! Thank you! Tanya Thampi Sen, Nutrition Program Manager
