The Summer Food Service Program, funded by the USDA and administered by the Maryland State Department of Education, provides breakfast and lunch free of charge to children at school sites during the emergency closure of schools. Parents may pick up the Grab N Go meals on behalf of their children. Families will be allowed to pick up two days’ worth of meals at a time per person. Sites will receive limited supplemental boxes of food and produce in addition to meals throughout the summertime. Check for specific information on BaltimoreCitySchools.org or by calling 211.
The Grab N Go meals will be made available to all young people 18 or under or their parents, on a drop-in basis, without discrimination because of color, disability, gender identity, immigration status, national origin, race, sex, and sexual orientation. A person 19 years of age and over who has a mental or physical disability (as determined by a State or local educational agency) and who participates during the school year in a public or private non-profit school program (established for the mentally or physically disabled) is also eligible to receive meals. There will be no discrimination during meal service.
