The Hawai\u02bbi State Department of Education (HIDOE) announced that 74 public schools will offer free summer meals to children ages 18 and younger, starting June 9 through July 17. Meals are available Monday through Friday through the USDA\u2019s Seamless Summer Option (SSO) program. Children do not need to be enrolled in public school to participate.

Breakfasts will be served from 7:15 to 8:45 a.m. and lunches from 10:30 a.m. to noon. There will be no meal service on the June 11 (Kamehameha Day) and July 3 (Independence Day observed) state holidays. The SSO program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and was established to ensure that children continue to receive nutritious meals during the summer. Parents may call their nearest participating school directly for details. 

“Free summer meals give every child access to quality nutrition during the summer break so they can return to school nourished, focused and ready to learn,\u201d Superintendent Keith Hayashi said. \u201cOur dedicated cafeteria teams will be working hard to ensure children across Hawai\u2018i stay healthy this summer, and we encourage all families to take advantage of these free meals.”

All meals must be eaten on campus; no grab-and-go options are available. Children do not have to be enrolled at a participating school to be served, and meals will consist of solid foods. For special diet accommodations, email specialdiets@k12.hi.us<\/a> with as much detail as possible.

To qualify for the SSO program, schools must have at least 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and host a summer program on campus. Please review the list of participating schools below carefully, as some locations have changed since last summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
