Summer Meal Sites

Come find our friendly faces on-site for breakfast and lunch throughout Strafford County.  These sites are open to all children aged 0-18 and do not require any registration or signup.

Dates and times, which vary by site, are posted below.  Also be sure to follow us on Facebook or sign up for our newsletter to get updates about our meal sites.
