The summer months can be challenging to get the proper nutrition. The Feeding America network operates over 9,000 free summer meal sites across the U.S. So, here are three easy ways to find your nearest (free) meal site. (PS - Consider sharing this information if you can't personally use it.)

1️⃣ Text: You can find meal programs near you by texting the word FOOD to 304-304, thanks to our friends at No Kid Hungry. You’ll get a message with nearby locations.

2️⃣ Call: Calling the USDA Hotline at 1-866-348-6479 is another great way to find free summer food service programs in your area.

3️⃣ Ask Your Local Food Bank: Search by zip code or state using the food bank locator and contact the nearest food bank. Even if the food bank looks far away, they often work with meal programs closer to your home. https://www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-local-foodbank
