Summer Meal Program 2026

Summer is a time for sunshine, play, and making lasting memories. But for some families, it can also bring added challenges especially when school meal programs pause for the season.

That’s why communities across the Inland Northwest are stepping up to offer free summer meals for children ages 1-18, ensuring every child has access to nutritious food all summer long. Summer meal programs are designed to be simple, accessible, and welcoming for all families. Many locations include breakfast, lunch, and grab-and-go options, with no registration needed.
