The 2024 Summer Food Program will begin on Monday, July 1, 2024. Join us for a kickoff celebration on Friday, June 28 at Donnelly Field, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
At breakfast and lunch meal sites, Cambridge youth can join Recreation staff for games and activities in the parks. Cambridge Book Bike brings story time to a Summer Food site each week.
Free dinner meals are served at DHSP Summer Basketball locations while leagues are in session. Cambridge youth do not need to participate in the leagues to receive a dinner meal. The program also provides free snacks at Screen on the Green Family Movie nights and meals to eligible summer camps and community programs.
In the event of rain or dangerous weather, meals will be provided at the War Memorial Recreation Center (1640 Cambridge St.).
