Join Us for Breakfast and Lunch! School will be out and free summer meals are in from      June 27th to August 30, 2013. That's right; any child 18 years of age and under can enjoy a free healthy and great tasting breakfast and lunch at hundreds of schools, pools, parks, New York City Housing Authority complexes and other locations around the city. No registration, documentation, or ID is required. Finding a summer meals site is easy.

SchoolFood is pleased to announce that we will be deploying three mobile food trucks this summer. In an effort to reach as many children as possible during the summer, our mobile food trucks will visit beaches and parks throughout the city to handout free delicious and nutritious lunches.

Remember from June 27th to August 30th school is out but free summer meals are in!

Throughout the 2012-2013 school year, we look forward to strengthening our communication with administrators, teachers, principals, parent coordinators, school staff, parents, and students to support our breakfast and lunch service.

Because we know how busy the back to school season is, we've compiled a compendium of general information and a list of important forms, to try to make getting your child ready for school easier. Click on either of the items below to learn more about each topic.
