(Indianapolis, IN) – This summer, all Indiana students age 18 and younger have access to free, nutritious meals and snacks at more than 1,000 locations statewide through the 2024 Summer Food Service Program.
To find a Summer Food Service site, families can use the USDA Summer Meals Site Finder to search for sites near them. Site locations and meal service times vary based on local area. Households can find information about the meal types served and days of the week when meals are offered.
Families can also call USDA National Hunger Hotline at 1-866-3-HUNGRY or 1-877-8-HAMBRE or use the No Kid Hungry Summer Meals Texting Hotline by texting “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 304-304 to find the closest meal service sites.
Free SFSP meals are still available to all children age 18 and under even if families are participating in Indiana SUN Bucks (Summer EBT).
Site locations and meal service times vary throughout the state, and locations range from parks and community centers to schools, churches and mobile feeding sites. For more than 40 years, the Summer Food Service Program has provided children ages 18 and under with access to free, nutritious meals and snacks during the summer months.
The Summer Food Service Program is a federal nutrition program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Indiana Department of Education. The program is designed to meet the needs of low-income children in areas where children may have limited access to good nutrition.
