Connecting Kids with Nutritious Food All Summer Long
Kids and teens can eat right even when school's out through the free summer meals program! Children ages 0-18 can enjoy free breakfast and lunches through the EBRPSS Summer Meals Program at locations across Baton Rouge.
Program outreach is made possible through supportive partners, such as OneRouge and its Capital Area Food Equity (CAFÉ) Coalition and the City of Baton Rouge.
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a federally funded, state-administered program where children and teens can receive no-cost, healthy meals and snacks.
Note: The EBRPSS Summer Meals Program is closed for 2024. Check back for information on 2025's Summer Meals Program!
