Free Summer Meals for Children
Salt Lake City School District’s Summer Food Service Program will offer free meals to all children, ages 0-18, in the community this summer. Both breakfast and lunch will be available free of charge at various locations throughout the city.
The Summer Food Service Program will provide meals starting on Tuesday, June 7. Each serving site has specific hours of operation and dates of service. Please verify the dates and times at each site in the information below. All sites will be closed Monday, June 10, Monday, July 4, and Monday, July 25, 2022.
Important changes this summer
With the end of federal waivers granting free school meal access for students and flexibility for school districts, we are no longer able to provide many of the valuable services that families have come to expect. We can no longer:
- provide take-home meals,
- serve breakfast and lunch at the same time,
- offer Grab & Go curbside service, or
- allow adults to pick up meals without the child present.
Moving forward, each child must be present to personally select food components and consume their meal on site (exception: a piece of fruit can be taken home). We appreciate your support in following these federal rules so we can continue this valuable service to our community.

* All school sites will be open and will serve meals on Friday, June 24, and Friday, July 8.

Meals for children with special dietary needs will be provided upon request. Parents can contact our dietician, Brianna Hardisty, R.D., via email at Brianna.Hardisty@slcschools.org or by phone at (801) 974-8380 to make arrangements.
Free/Reduced meal applications for next year
Because we no longer have the federal waivers, we will be unable to provide free meals for all students next year. Families will need to apply for free or reduced-price school meals for the 2022-23 school year. Applications can be found on the district website.
