Summer Meals Program

The Summer Meals Program and Illinois No Kid Hungry collaborate with national and state partner organizations to provide free meals during the summer for children and youth who depend on school lunches during the school year. Meals are available throughout Illinois for children and youth ages 18 and under.

There is no income requirement to participate in open-site summer meal programs.

Certain summer meal sites, such as camps or closed programs that require an application to participate, may ask about income during the application process.
