Logo for SchoolFood program

The SchoolFood Summer Meals Program for Summer 2009 has ended; please check this page in Spring 2010 for an updated list of locations.

The SchoolFood Lunch Program is designed to provide children and young adults with a healthy alternative to junk food. Lunch is available for all children under 19 years of age and all handicapped persons, regardless of age, who participate in special education programs. Breakfast will be served during the Learn to Swim Program at pools in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens.

Meals are free and provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through SchoolFood, a part of the New York City Department of Education.
