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 helps fill the summer meal gap for children who rely on the school-year meals provided through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program.
“With our kids out of school for the summer, the City of Indianapolis has made it a priority to support them in whatever way we can,” said Mayor Joe Hogsett. “That includes providing them with safe, positive ways to spend their free time, and that also means keeping them fed when they can no longer rely on a school lunch every day. The Summer Servings program does just that by providing our youth with easy access to food in the best place for them to spend a summer day: our beloved Indy Parks.”
Indy Parks’ meal programs have served over 4 million meals since 2013. Summer Servings meals are provided Monday through Friday at 16 Indy Parks and community serving locations, and four mobile units that serve various park, library, and apartment complex locations.
“Indy Parks plays a critical role in our city’s food access, especially for our youth,” said Indy Parks Director Brittany Crone. “The Summer Servings program not only provides free meals for youth but also encourages them to boost their holistic physical and mental health by spending time in our parks.”
The following Indy Parks Meal Serving Sites are available Monday-Friday. More information about Indy Parks’ meal programs, including a full list of mobile meals sites and other Indy Parks and city meal programs, can be found here. Times and locations are subject to change. The program will run until late July, when schools return.
