Summer Lunch Program

Starting around June 2, after school cafeterias close for summer, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) will partner with schools, churches, city governments, and other nonprofits to administer the Summer Meal Programs in Texas. These programs serve no-cost meals to children 18 and younger and enrolled students over 18 with disabilities in low-income areas. Families can use these two tools to find nearby meal sites - VISIT SummerFood.org, or CALL 2-1-1.

In addition to locating a site, it’s important to frequently use these tools to confirm dates and times and gather more information about meal services. Some locations in rural areas will distribute multi-day meal bundles for families who have trouble attending a site daily. Utilizing these site-finding tools will provide families in remote and underserved areas with information about nearby sites that offer these accommodations.
