The Utah State Board of Education is announcing SUN Meals, a summer nutrition program that offers free meals and snacks to children and teens when school is out.
What are SUN Meals? SUN Meals is USDA’s summer meal program. It provides no-cost meals and snacks at schools, parks, libraries, and other neighborhood locations. In some eligible rural areas, meals may also be available as SUN Meals To-Go.
Why it matters: Many children rely on school meals during the school year. When school ends for summer, SUN Meals provide children with continued access to nutritious food.
How to participate: Families can visit a participating meal site during posted service times. Check local meal site details for dates, times, and participation information. Meals must be eaten on site or picked up in approved rural areas.
Eligibility criteria: SUN Meals are available at no cost to all children and teens age 18 and younger at qualifying sites. No application is required for open meal sites. Some sites may ask households to complete a free and reduced-price meal application to determine if children qualify for meals or snacks at no cost at closed sites or camps. Free and reduced-price eligibility is based on household size and income.
