Summer Meals Programs

6/11/2016

You may be thinking: “Free Meals? No way!” Yes way. SFSP stands for Summer Food Service Program and it provides free meals over the summer to kids less than 18 years of age. At meal sites, children can receive a healthy meal in a safe place to eat and build friendships.

​Food, Friends, and Fun!  Many sites also offer educational activities and games.




There are open sites and closed sites for free meals. Open sites are meal sites where anyone under the age of 18 can get a free meal. There is no fee, no sign-up, and no proof of identity or legal status required. You just walk in and grab a meal! Closed sites are meal sites that require sign-up and sometimes require a small fee to participate throughout the summer. These can include summer camps or other programming that you have to register for.

​Below you will find a list of currently registered summer meals programs in southern Illinois  along with some other locations that offer free or reduced meals during the summer months:
