Free Summer Meals for Tacoma Kids

Parks Tacoma is reviving its free summer meal program for kids 18 and under, serving nutritious lunches at parks across the city from June 22 through August 28—except July 3. With nearly 60% of Tacoma Public Schools students eligible for free or reduced lunch, this initiative tackles summer food insecurity while offering play areas, games, and staff engagement. Meals, prepared by Pioneer Human Services and funded by the USDA, include sandwiches, fruit, and milk—with chocolate milk on Thursdays and Fridays. Families can also attend Community Market Resource Fairs on July 9 and 30 for vital support services. It’s more than just lunch—it’s a safe, fun, and essential summer hub for Tacoma’s youth.
