Summer Food Resources

Mukilteo Farmers Market 2015

There are many resources to help us feed our families during the summer months. This is when the food from our local farms is most plentiful, and Summer Meals programs pick up where School Meals leave off in June to keep kids fueled for summer play.

Kids Eat Free this Summer!

The Washington State Summer Meals Program provides free meals and snacks to all children and teens (18 years and younger) during the summer months. No proof of income, address or citizenship is ever required. Summer Meals for kids are available at many sites in Snohomish County including schools, youth centers such as YMCA and Boys and Girls Clubs, churches, and more.

When school is out for the summer, you can find the Summer Meals site closest to you:
