Summer should be a fun and enriching time for all Colorado kids, but for many it represents a time when children are at the greatest risk of experiencing hunger, losing access to school meals. During the summer months, more than 450 sites across the state will provide meals to children between the ages of one and 18 years olds at no cost.

The statewide summer food program has kicked off, and families can easily locate nearby sites online, by phone or by text.
