Worcester Public Schools Hosts Summer Meals for Youth

Breakfast, Lunch, and Early Supper Locations Across the City

The Worcester Public Schools Food and Nutrition Department has released an updated list of locations where any child and teenager under age 18 can eat meals free of charge this summer through the United States Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program. The program is designed to ensure that all youth have access to healthy meals and snacks during the summer when school is not in session.

Each location offers meals at various dates and times.

Please note that the meals must be eaten on-site. “Grab and Go” service is no longer provided.
