What are Summer Meals?
The free Summer Meals Programs are an extension of the federal School Meals Programs when school is out. They are federally funded programs through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are administered by the CT State Department of Education. Public schools or non-profit organizations typically make and distribute the meals throughout the community.
