Kent School District to offer free summer meals for children
Published 12:15 pm Thursday, June 4, 2026
Kent School District will provide free summer meals for children and teens ages 18 and under during the months of June, July and August.
The Summer Meals Program is a partnership between Kent School District Nutrition Services, Washington state Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Meals begin June 23 and end Aug. 7.
The Food and Nutrition Administration, an agency of the USDA, administers the program at the federal level. State education agencies administer the program in most states. The school district provides free meals to a group of children at a central site, such as a school or a community center, according to USDA. The district receives payments from USDA, through their state agencies, for the meals they serve.
Meals must be served in low-income communities where at least 50% of children are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals or in other locations where at least 50% of the children enrolled in a specific program are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals, according to state and federal guidelines.
