School's Out Café, the Summer Food Service Program sponsored by the City of St. Louis, runs from June 6 to August 12.  Young persons 18 years of age and under can enjoy free breakfast and/or lunch at over 100 sites within the metropolitan St. Louis area.

The Summer Food Service Program was created to ensure that children in lower income areas could continue to receive nutritious meals during school vacation when they do not have access to the National School Lunch /Breakfast Programs.
