INDIANAPOLIS – Today, Indy Parks is announcing the schedule for the Summer Servings Meal Program. The Summer Servings program is part of the Summer Food Service Program which aims to fill the summer gap when children do not have access to the meals they receive from the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs during the school year.
“Every year, Summer Servings provides thousands of children here in Indianapolis with the nutritious meals they all deserve,” said Mayor Hogsett. “If we want our city’s youth to thrive, we must first ensure that they have what they need to grow and learn in a healthy environment, and that is what Summer Servings is all about.”
The Indy Parks meals program has served over 3.3 million meals since 2013. Summer Servings meals are provided Monday through Friday at 11 Indy Parks and community serving locations and five mobile units that serve various park, library, and apartment complex locations.
“The Summer Servings program is one of Indy Parks’ essential services that help combat food insecurity in our city,” said Indy Parks Director Phyllis Boyd. “Inspiring healthy living is an important part of our Indy Parks mission, not only through access to physical activity but also by providing healthy food. I encourage folks to go to parks.indy.gov/programs/free-meals-programs for more information.
