In these economic hard times, some families struggle to provide enough food for kids to eat. During the summer, it can be especially hard as families don’t have free and reduced-cost school meals to help fill the gap.
A federal school nutrition program provides free meals and snacks during
the summer in select locations to ALL kids (18 years and younger – regardless of
income).
WithinReach can help families find available Summer Meals Sites across
Washington:
- Use the Summer Meals Site search tool
- Call the Family Food Hotline (1-888-436-6392) for help in any language
- Other Food
Resources are available on ParentHelp123.org and by calling the Family Food
Hotline that may improve economic stability including:
- Basic Food (Food Stamps)
- WIC Food
- Banks (across Washington)
ParentHelp123.org users can screen themselves and apply online for state food benefits and search for a Food Bank online. Callers to the Family Food Hotline will be screened for program eligibility over the phone and receive state benefit applications by mail.
