Purpose:
Provides meals and snacks to low-income school-age children during the summer months (June-August). Youth Services administers and monitors this program, funded by USDA and the Department of Education. Sites are located throughout Palm Beach County in low-income neighborhoods.
Civil Rights Requirement: meals are served to all eligible children, regardless of their race, color, national origin, sex or disability.
Eligibility: Children age 18 and under may receive meals through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).
2021 Distribution Sites: Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) distributes meals at sites throughout Palm Beach County. Please utilize the Food Site Locator or contact Palm Beach County Youth Services Department at 561-242-5713. Proper safety measures must be practiced at all feeding sites.
Cold meal sites provide a fresh breakfast, lunch, or
snack to each eligible child. The child must be present and one meal is provided to eat on-site.
Grab 'n Go meals allow a parent to pick up seven days' worth of self-stable breakfasts and lunches to take home. If picking up meals without the child present, parents must bring identification for the child (acceptable identification includes student ID, child's passport or other government-issued ID, birth certificate, adoption decree, immunization records, or school demographics). Meals will not be provided to parents who do not bring their child or do not provide proper identification.
