Kids 18 and younger eat free all summer long Summer Eats Awareness Week is July 10–14 T he Summer Eats program is in full swing across Massachusetts, providing free meals to children and teens 18 years old and younger at hundreds of meal sites statewide. In July 2022 alone, over 2.3 million meals were served across almost 1,500 sites in Massachusetts through the Summer Eats program. Summer Eats is an especially critical resource this summer. Throughout the school year, children in Massachusetts rely on free school meals to meet most of their daily nutrition needs, and Summer Eats serves to close the gap when the school year ends. As of May 2023, one in four Massachusetts households with children are experiencing food insecurity. This is nearly double the pre-pandemic numbers, and many families are still struggling to aff ord enough food more than three years after the pandemic fi rst hit. S LANDSCAPE & MASONRY CO.

Participating meal providers operate and staff meal sites, often in conjunction with activities and educational programming. All are welcome. No registration or ID is required. “Hunger doesn’t disappear in the summer,” says Project Bread CEO Erin McAleer. “The same students who count on universal free school meals for more than half their daily nutrition are at risk for summer hunger and learning loss when school is on break and those meals are unavailable. Meal providers and staff bring the community together and take some of the pressure off of families’ grocery budgets, going above and beyond to make healthy meals easy to access for all kids and teens.” Families previously eligible to receive Pandemic-Electronic Benefi t Transfer (P-EBT) during the 2022-2023 school year will qualify to continue to receive this benefi t ($120 per child per family) over the summer. P-EBT is a federal child nutrition program created during the COVID-19 public health emergency to promote increased food security for students who are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and who missed school due to COVID-19.

For more than 20 years, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and statewide anti-hunger nonprofi t Project Bread have partnered to support meal providers in off ering Summer Eats meals to children in Massachusetts. This year summer meal sites are operating a communal model of feeding kids onsite. Project Bread and DESE have helped meal providers to adapt throughout the pandemic and beyond to continue feeding kids seamlessly. During the school year, Project Bread and DESE also partner to expand access to and participation in school meal programs. “Summer Eats is a great resource that brings youth together while enjoying a healthy meal,” says McAleer. “The program is free for all to participate, helping to reduce stigma and foster community – a win-win.” For more information about Summer Eats, including meal site locations, visit www.projectbread.org/summer-eats, text FOOD or COMIDA to 304304 or call 1-800-645-8333 for help in any language.
