Food For Kids

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 more than 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 long school vacation, when they do not have access to the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Programs.
Do you know children in your neighborhood or communities that need meals this summer?
Please remember to tell the community and parents that the School’s Out Café is the place to send kids for free meals this summer.
To become a food distribution site or to find a location in your area, contact the Department of Human Services, Youth and Family Services at (314) 657-1695.
