FREE SUMMER MEALS FOR STUDENTS!

Children DO NOT need to be enrolled in a public OR participating school to participate.

The Hawaiʻi State Department of Education (HIDOE) announced that 68 public schools will offer free summer meals to children ages 18 and younger, starting June 12. Meals are available Monday through Friday through the USDA’s Seamless Summer Option (SSO) program.

Breakfasts will be served from 7:15 to 8:45 a.m. and lunches from 10:30 a.m. to noon. There will be no service on the July 4 state holiday.

All meals must be eaten on campus; no grab-and-go options are available. Children do not have to be enrolled at a participating school to be served, and meals will consist of solid foods. For special diet accommodations, email specialdiets@k12.hi.us with as much detail as possible. Parents may call their nearest participating school directly for details.

“For many of our students, school meals are a vital source of daily nutrition,” Superintendent Keith Hayashi said. “Our cafeteria teams are stepping up once again to make sure kids across Hawai‘i stay healthy and well-fed this summer. We encourage families to take advantage of these free meals — no sign-up or enrollment is needed.”
