Boston Summer Eats
We're filling the summer food gap by providing no-cost meals to Boston youth ages 18 and under.
Summer Eats provides nutritious breakfast and lunch at no cost to youth 18 and under. We aim to make meals accessible to City kids and youth. No ID or registration is required. The program delivers critical support to children that rely on school meals.

About the program
History of the program
We launched our pilot program at City Hall Plaza and Mattapan Public Library in 2017. Thanks to our partners we expanded to other sites, including:
- Boston Public Library branches
- Boston Housing Authority properties
- the Bolling Building, and
- 10 farmers markets.
Current program
In 2019, we received funding from the Boston Children's Collaboration for Community Health. We are now supporting more than 30 open summer meal sites throughout Boston. Kids and youth ages 18 and under can get free meals and take part in engaging programs. There are a variety of activities taking place at each meal site.
