Children and teens can enjoy a free lunch this summer at more than 90 parks across Los Angeles.

The annual Summer Food Service Program is sponsored by the city’s Department of Recreation and Parks.

From June 12 to July 31, anyone under 18 years old can grab a free lunch at a participating local park.

Menu offerings may include fresh fruits and vegetables, milk, salads, deli sandwiches and other nutritious meal options.

City officials said the program helps to ensure that children and teens continue to have access to healthy meals while school is out for the summer.

No application or proof of income is needed. Adults and guardians can simply bring their child to a participating location to receive food.

Meals must be consumed onsite and are available at no cost. Serving times will vary by location but typically range between 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

“Summer should be a time for children to learn, play and create lasting memories, not worry about where their next meal will come from,” said Jimmy Kim, General Manager of the Department of Recreation and Parks. “Through our partnership with LAUSD, we are proud to provide free, nutritious meals in safe and welcoming park environments where young people can stay active, connect with their communities and thrive throughout the summer.”
