Portland Summer Meals Program for Children, Teens

School sites began operation on June 26th or July 5th, and continue through August 4th, and some through August 11th, most operate Monday through Friday. Community sites will operate from June 26th to August 18th, Monday through Friday.
All children and teens 18 years and younger may receive a meal free of charge. Meals will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis, at any of the meal site locations. There is no meal service on Tuesday, July 4th.
