There are more than 400 sites in Oregon where children through age 18 can get a free meal and have some fun this summer.
Visit www.summerfoodoregon.org or call 1-800-Safenet (1-800-723-3638) to find community sites across Oregon offering free lunches—and sometimes breakfasts and snacks—for all children.
Meal sites are hosted at a wide range of community locations, including parks, schools, community centers, churches and pools. Because children find fun as important as food during summer vacation, many sites offer free or low-cost activities along with the meals. |
