Dear New Yorker,
Now that summer is in full swing, we wanted to make sure you knew about the City's Summer Meals Program , which provides free meals for children 18 years old or younger.
The Summer Meals Program is completely free and is offered at over 1,000 sites around the five boroughs, operating weekdays through August 31. It provides a nutritious breakfast and lunch to every child without any paperwork requirements. All your kid needs to do is show up and they can receive a healthy meal. The only requirement is that they be 18 years old or younger.
Meal locations are spread throughout the City's community centers, parks, pools, and many public schools. We encourage parents to take advantage of this important opportunity and to help spread the word. To find a site near you, go to http://newyorkcity.nokidhungry.org/free-summer-meals .
If you have any questions about the Summer Meals Program, please don't hesitate to contact Danielle Porcaro in the NYC Council's Community Outreach Unit. She can be reached by telephone at (212) 788-7300 or by email at dporcaro@council.nyc.gov .
