Good news for Seattle families this summer: the City of Seattle is offering free meals to children and teens at parks and community centers throughout the season, according to Seattle.gov.

The program ensures that young people have access to nutritious food during the summer months, when school meal programs are not in session. Meals are available at no cost, making it easy for families across the city to take advantage of the benefit simply by visiting a participating park or community center.

Summer meal programs like this one play an important role in keeping kids healthy and energized during the break from school, while also giving families a reason to gather in Seattle’s beloved public spaces. With the city’s parks serving as welcoming hubs for the community, the initiative combines good nutrition with the spirit of neighborhood connection that makes Seattle special.

Families looking to find a nearby location can visit Seattle.gov for details on participating sites and meal times. It’s a simple, meaningful way the city is looking out for its youngest residents all summer long.
