Free Summer Meals for Ages 1-18 Offered across the Sharpstown Area
The Texas Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Program is serving free meals at schools, community centers, and other designated locations this summer. Children ages 1-18 (and enrolled students with disabilities who are up to 21 years old) are eligible to participate. Participating families are not required to enroll their children in summer school, provide identification, or make reservations. The only requirement is to arrive at a serving location during a meal time.
See below for a list of locations, dates, and times. Schedules may change, so call the appropriate location to verify meal times before you visit.
