No registration! No forms! Just free meals all summer long. Highline Public Schools is offering free summer meals to every Highline student and all kids and teens 18 years and younger, thanks to a USDA program. 

The program aims to ensure kids in the community have access to nutritious meals during the summer months. The best part? Kids do not need to be Highline students to participate, and there are no registration requirements or forms to complete.

The free summer meals program will run from June 26 to August 1 at various locations across Highline. Families can find a convenient location near them to stop by for a delicious, ready-to-eat meal. Please note that the meals must be consumed on site.

“We believe access to nutritious meals is essential for the overall well-being and development of our community’s children and teens,” said Lisa Johnson, director of Nutrition Services at Highline Public Schools. “With the free summer meals program, we aim to ensure that no child goes hungry during the summer break. We encourage families to take advantage of this opportunity and visit the nearest location to enjoy a healthy meal.”
