UPPER MARLBORO, MD –  Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) Department of Food and Nutrition Services will launch its annual Summer Food Service Program on Monday, June 23, providing free meals at 165 school sites for students enrolled in summer programs.

Beginning Monday, July 7, all children 18 and younger can receive meals at 16 open sites — eight schools and eight community locations — regardless of enrollment.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. No registration or ID is required. 

Meals are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Operation dates are as follows: 

• June 23: Free meal service begins for PGCPS students enrolled in summer programs at designated sites
• July 7 - July 31: Breakfast and lunch available to all children at school open sites. Hot meals will be served.
• July 7 - August 8: Lunch available to all children at community open sites. Bagged meals will be served.

Families should note that only the 16 open sites offer drop-in meals; all other sites serve only students enrolled in on-site summer programs.
