Free Summer Meals for Kids in Thurston County

Starting Monday, June 22, kids 18 and under can get free meals in Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater—no school ID needed. Backed by the USDA, this summer program fills a critical food gap when schools are out, serving breakfast, lunch, and snacks to help families ease the pressure. North Thurston Public Schools alone provided 400 meals daily last summer, and now multiple locations—including schools and community centers—offer flexible times. Text FOOD to 304-304 to find a spot near you. Plus, USDA grocery benefits and the Thurston County Food Bank offer extra support year-round.
