Summer Meals Now Available
We're excited to announce the availability of the Summer Food Service Program and Meet Up and Eat Up events for children and teens across the state. Meet Up and Eat Up is a way to help parents and caregivers identify places where kids 18 and younger can gather for healthy, free summer meals at thousands of sites across Michigan.
This program is crucial for the hundreds of thousands of Michigan students who rely on the federal school meals program during the school year. Last year, less than 1/5 of Michigan kids who depend on getting free meals during the school year ate a summer meal at approved sites in their neighborhoods.
Show your support for Meet Up and Eat Up by sharing the meal site map on Facebook. You can include text in your update such as: "Friends in Michigan: help spread the word about Meet Up and Eat Up and help a kid get a free summer meal today: www.michigan.gov/meetupeatup."
