At the Coalition Against Hunger, we work to ensure kids 18 and under can access free, healthy meals and snacks during the summer with no ID, no registration, and no proof of income required. We do this through our dedicated Summer Meals Hotline and our Summer Meals Map.

One of the calls we recently received was from a woman who had heard about our Summer Meals Hotline and wanted to find the closest Summer Meals locations. She didn't have any children herself, but she knew there were many families on her street that could really benefit from access to the Summer Meals Program. We provided her with a few locations in her neighborhood, the days that they were open, and the hours that they served breakfast, lunch, and snacks. She was so grateful for our help and was excited to share what she had learned with her neighbors.

We help thousands of kids access free, healthy summer meals.

 
 

The Summer Meals Program is a federally-supported program that helps ensure kids receive the same high-quality nutrition during school vacations that they get in school and return to school in the fall, ready to learn. Many families aren't aware of this program or how to access it, which is why we operate our Summer Meals Hotline and maintain our Summer Meals Map.

Summer can be a challenging time for many families, especially in Philadelphia where children experience food insecurity at a rate that is double the national average. We know there is a growing need for resources to help families when free and reduced-cost school meals are no longer an option, and families need to provide an additional 1 to 2 meals each day for each child.

Your generous support helps kids get access to the nutritious food they need for the summer!

 
 
 

You can help, even if you can't make a gift today

Hunger is preventable, and together we can build a food secure Philadelphia region. We hope you will encourage your colleagues, collaborators, friends, and family members to support our work to connect kids and families with Summer Meals.
