Even when school is out, you can still enjoy free breakfast and
lunch! Our 2025 Free Summer Meals Program is here for you all across New York City, and
it's totally free for anyone who's 18 years old or younger. You can find these
meals at specific places like select NYC Public Schools, community pool centers,
parks, and libraries. And guess what? You don't need to sign up, show any
papers, or have an ID to get these meals. Just head to one
