The boxed meals can be collected - and must be eaten - at a number of community sites throughout Chicago and 13 surrounding counties, including at select park districts, churches, schools, and community centers. Some sites also offer summer activities or learning programs to keep children active and engaged as they receive a meal.
Anyone age 18 and under can get a free meal. There is no fee, no sign-up, and no proof of identity or legal status required. Children can just walk in and grab a meal., call 359-2163, or text "Food" or "Comida" to 304-304. Those sites will be open from June 5 to August 18, 2023, in 13 counties throughout Northern Illinois, and from June 12 to August 18, 2023 in Chicago and Cook County.
