Summer Eats
Boston Summer Eats provides nutritious breakfast and lunch at no cost to youth 18 and under. No ID or registration required.
The Summer Eats program is an innovative effort to lessen the summer food gap by increasing the availability of non-traditional meal sites. The goal of the program is to expand access to free and healthy meals for kids and teens in Boston.
This summer, the program will start on July 5. Please check back for a list of sties that will be distributing meals.
