Nutritious food for students available through SUN Meals
This summer, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce is sponsoring SUN Meals, a summer food program where Kids Eat Free! All children ages 1 through 18 are eligible to receive free meals during the summer months at participating program sites.

Sites are added through the summer, so check the WEBPAGE regularly for updates. To report a meal site listed that is not operating, contact the Department’s Office of Nutrition by phone at (614) 466-2945 or (877) 644-6338 or email.

Participation in any of the SUN meal sites does not disqualify a child from receiving SUN Bucks/Summer EBT. For more information on whether a household would qualify and how to apply, visit the Summer EBT webpage.
