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.
