The summer is fast approaching in Rochester, and kids around town will be busy.  Whether playing sports, getting ahead with summer classes, or hanging with friends at a Rec Center, eating a nutritious meal is often the last thing on their minds.  And with the constant availability of junk foods everywhere, it is increasingly tough for children to make healthy choices. 

Thankfully, Summer Meals are back, offering kids 18 and under a fresh, healthy, and free meal that fits in with their on-the-go style.  Provided by the City of Rochester, Foodlink, or the Rochester City School District, kids can eat food that will keep them full and satisfied without spending a dime or leaving their favorite activities! 

Summer meals can be found at Rec Centers, schools, churches, neighborhood programs, or anywhere kids spend the summer.  Best of all, parents don’t have to take extra steps to get their kids involved – just drop in.  To find a site, look for yellow banners with the brightly colored “Summer Meals” logo around your neighborhood!
