New York City Department of Education's Free Summer Meals program is designed to provide children and young adults with a healthy alternative to junk food. The Free Summer Meals program provides free breakfast and lunch at schools, parks, pools, libraries, and food trucks in all five boroughs. 

Breakfast and lunch are available for all children ages 18 and younger and all people with disabilities, regardless of age, who participate in special education programs.

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