Summertime shouldn’t be a struggle for kids.
When school is out, many children in West Virginia lose access to the meals they rely on most. For families facing food insecurity, summer can mean uncertainty about where the next meal will come from.
That’s why Mountaineer Food Bank created the Summer Meals Program—to ensure children continue to receive nutritious meals even when school cafeterias are closed.
Summer Meals Program
Beginning June 3, 2025, Mountaineer Food Bank will sponsor summer meal sites through the USDA Summer Food Service Program. These sites will operate throughout the summer in Braxton, Calhoun, and Clay Counties, helping families keep children nourished during the months when food access can be limited.
Meals are available to children 18 years of age and under. This is a parent pick-up program, providing thaw-and-serve meals and fresh milk kits for multiple days per child—making it easier for families to plan ahead.
Find a Meal Site
Families are encouraged to visit one of the participating sites on the dates and times listed to receive meals for their children.
