Summer can be a stressful time of year when it comes to feeding kids. So, why not let your community take care of the meals? Meet Up and Eat Up has partnered with local organizations and school districts to help you save time and money with free summer meals. And this year, we’ve added additional sites to serve more children in rural areas.

Throughout Michigan, Meet Up and Eat Up will make sure everyone aged 18 and under has access to free, healthy, and delicious summer meals. These meals are completely free — you’ll never have to pay for them. All kids and teens ages 18 and under are welcome join their local Meet Up and Eat Up summer meal site.

Free, Nutritious, Summer Meals

All summer, children 18 and under can eat healthy, satisfying meals in their communities at no cost. Not only are the meals free, but they are also nutritious, balanced meals that follow USDA federal nutritional guidelines. No application is required, no registration is needed, and no proof of residency is asked for — just show up and enjoy a meal!
