Summer Food for Kids
Breakfast and Lunch When School is Out
Children need good nutrition all year long. When school is out during the summer months, many children no longer have access to even one nutritious meal each day. Summer Meal Programs help to fill the gap.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a federally-funded, state-administered program that aims to provide nutritious meals to children in low-income areas during the summer months when school is not in session. Our goal is to ensure that children get nutritious food during the summer months so they are ready to learn during the school year.
The Food Bank of Lincoln, in partnership with numerous community partners and the USDA, sponsors free summer food sites that are open to the public and operate in low-income areas where at least 50 percent of children residing in the area are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals.
2026 Summer Food Meal Sites
All listed meal sites are open to the public. Free breakfast and lunch are available to any child ages 1-18. Meals must be consumed on site during designated meal times. All sites are in Lincoln and operate Monday-Friday (with the exception of Holmes Elementary School which will not be serving meals on Wednesdays). Please review the schedule carefully as sites have varying dates and times.
