Over 500 sites throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington will offer free meals this summer to children in need. Meal sites are hosted at a variety of locations, including parks, schools and faith-based organizations. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) fills the gap in high-need geographical areas so that children who were receiving free or reduced lunches at school can stay nourished during summer break. The program serves all children ages 1 to 18.
