How do I find a meal location?
When schools are released for the summer, our website stays up-to-date with an interactive map that allows you to find meal locations. You can also find a location by dialing 2-1-1 or texting the phrase “FoodFL” to 877-877.
What are the requirements for my child to receive a meal?
At almost all sites, there is no application necessary and any child 18 or younger can simply come during meal times to receive a meal.
Exception: A few sites (like overnight camps and sites in higher income areas) do require that parents fill out a form about family income for children to receive meals.
Is there a cost for meals?
There is no cost for meals. USDA requires that meals be served at no charge to the children. However, the site may have a fee for any extra program activities that they provide.
Is transportation available?
In urban areas, many sites are within walking distance. Some sites are mobile and visit different areas throughout the day. Transportation is sometimes available in rural areas or in conjunction with a site’s program activities. If this is a concern for you, contact nearby sites and ask if they offer transportation.
