Summer Food Service Program
Oakland’s Summer Lunch Program delivers free and nutritious meals to children in Oakland neighborhoods.
We help children in Oakland get the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow throughout the summer—making them better prepared to start another school year. The Summer Lunch Program encourages healthy eating habits leading to normal weight and a positive self-image.
