Local Summer Food Programs

Summer Eat

Many local students receive free or reduced meals during the school year, but what about the summer months? No child should be expected to go hungry, and thanks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Summer Food Service Program, they don’t have to. The Rochester City and Gates-Chili school districts will both be offering this program throughout the summer. For more information, including locations and program times, please visit the links below.
