MERIDIAN, Idaho — The West Ada School District is keeping its Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) rolling this year. This program offers free, healthy meals to kids aged 1-18, no matter their income or school enrollment.
Running from June 1 to July 31, the program is open to all children. There’s no need to register—just show up to eat!
Meals will be served at various places like schools, parks, and libraries across the district.
“Access to healthy meals shouldn’t end with the school year,” says Anne Brock, Director of School Nutrition for West Ada. “For years, we’ve helped ensure kids get the nutrition they need to grow and thrive all summer long.”

The importance of programs like SFSP can’t be overstated. According to the USDA, nearly 1 in 6 children in the U.S. faces food insecurity. These summer meals help reduce hunger and support children’s health during the break from school. While the issue has been around for years, recent efforts to improve access to nutritious food continue to gain traction.
