Kids Eat FREE this summer at parks, schools, libraries and more in Washington State - Weekdays - Now through Mid-August depending on location!

" The Washington State Summer Food Service Program, or Summer Meals, provides free meals and snacks to all children and teens (18 years and younger) during the summer months. 
No proof of income, address or citizenship is ever required. "

It is mostly lunch times and snack times with some breakfast times and supper times depending on location in Washington State.

If memory serves I believe that even if you feel you don't need it, they want you to accept it if you are out and about with the kids at the park, etc. when they happen to be there doing these events because it keeps the program successful and the funding going for those that truly need it.
