Free breakfasts, lunches and snacks for children and teens up to 18 years of age are available through Aug. 23 at a variety of locations around Seattle. The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), formerly known as Summer Sack Lunch, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and was established in 1968 to respond to growing research that correlated a child’s nutrition with academic success and concerns about the lack of nutrition resources for children during the summer months. The City of Seattle has operated this program in Seattle since the early 1970s.

The meals are served to children and teens at approved sites where at least half the participants are eligible for free or reduced price school lunches.
