Bridging the gap when
school is not in session, more than 2,000 meals sites across Kentucky provide
breakfasts, lunches, snacks and suppers each summer through the USDA Summer
Food Service Program (SFSP). For program information visit the USDA Summer Food Service Program website and the KY Kids Eat website.
Starting June 1, text the word “food” or “comida” to 304304 to locate a Summer Meal Site for children. When prompted by text, enter a specific address and a list of local meal sites will be provided.
