The Salt Lake City School District’s Summer Food Service Program will provide free meals to all children between the ages of 0 and 18 this summer.

Free lunch will be served at various locations around the city, including the Salt Lake City Library, many local schools, and several community parks.

While lunch is available at multiple sites, free breakfast will only be provided in school cafeterias on days when summer school is in session.

Because each location maintains its own specific schedule, the district advises visitors to check the times and dates for their intended site. All meal sites will be closed on June 15 for the observed Juneteenth holiday, July 3 for the observed Independence Day, and July 24 for Pioneer Day.

The summer program is funded by the federal government and operates under specific regulations. Each child must be present in person to receive their meal. Additionally, meals must be consumed at the site, though one side item or fruit may be taken home.

For children with special dietary needs, meals can be provided upon request. Parents may contact the Child Nutrition Dietitian via email at Lydia.Hales@slcschools.org or reach the Child Nutrition Department by phone at (801) 974-8380 to make necessary arrangements.
