This summer, Seattle Parks and Recreation, Seattle Human Services Department, and United Way of King County are partnering to host a drop-in summer program offering free meals and recreation activities. The meals and recreation program will run daily from July 12 to August 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday rain or shine at 11 park sites across Seattle. Opening day for meals only will start earlier on July 5 with lunch being offered from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and snack offered from 2 to 3 p.m.  

A free lunch and snack will be offered to youth ages 1 to 18. Free recreation activities are open for kids and teens ages 5 to 18 and may include arts, crafts, board games, and organized recreational games.  

No fee, sign-up, or proof of identity or legal status is required to receive summer meals. 

Federal program rules have changed. This year, kids and teens need to be present to receive a meal and meals need to be eaten on-site. Parents and guardians are no longer able to pick up meals on behalf of their children. 

Seattle Parks and Recreation is #ParkProud to help ensure that children have access to healthy meals during the week even when school is out, as well as to enriching activities and a safe space.
