Summer Meal Site Finder
Helping children, parents, and community leaders find local summer meal sites.
FNS
is making it easier for children, parents, and community leaders to find local
summer meal sites near them. The Summer Meal Site Finder is a
free, web-based application that features an easily-searchable map to help
locate sites serving summer meals throughout the country. The tool
can be accessed at http://www.fns.usda.gov/summerfoodrocks
in Spanish and English. Promotional
materials highlighting this tool, and the National Hunger Hotline (1-866-3-Hungry
[English] & 1-877-8-Hambre [Spanish]), are available at http://www.fns.usda.gov/sfsp/raise-awareness.
Anyone
can use this map to find summer meal
sites near them. To get started, type in a city, zip code or address. The tool
will display the summer meal sites nearby. Just click on any blue dot to see
where the site is located, when it is open, and contact information. Users can
also access the link on mobile devices.
FNS
will update the tool’s database weekly to ensure families stay connected to
sites all summer long.
