Free Summer Meals Provided to Children Across Multiple US Regions

Multiple communities across the U.S. are participating in free summer meal programs to ensure children do not face food insecurity during school breaks. North Lamar ISD in Texas offers free meals to children 18 and younger, including disabled students up to age 21, with no registration required. Similarly, Katy ISD provides free breakfast and lunch at select campuses starting in late May, emphasizing community access without ID or paperwork. In Las Vegas, the Three Square Food Bank runs the "Meet Up and Eat Up" program, serving around 20,000 meals weekly at various community sites and delivering meals to apartment complexes. Indianapolis also offers free meals through the Indy Parks Meals Program, providing more than 3 million meals since 2013 with no registration needed. These initiatives collectively address the high rates of child food insecurity by providing nutritious meals in accessible, no-cost settings during summer months.
