During the summer, children and teenagers under 18 years old can receive complementary meals at over 100 locations in DC. Here is a list of locations in your area for the youth meal program. Each DC ward has at least one location available for the program, which is currently in effect and will continue until August 27th, just before the start of school. The program is open to all DC children, and there are no identification or pre-registration requirements. Most sites distribute breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday. Details vary by site, so be sure to check online before you go.
Additionally, if you are preparing for the upcoming school year, keep an eye out for back-to-school events happening in August and September. These events often distribute free school supplies, book bags, and food. Please be on the lookout for our upcoming newsletter, which will provide updated information to help you stay informed.
