Where can my kids get free meals this summer in Florida?

Use the free tool — After-School & Summer Finder FL

Free breakfast and lunch, all summer

When school lets out, the free or reduced-price meal your child got at school stops too — unless you find a summer site. Florida runs free summer breakfast and lunch sites for kids and teens through Florida Summer BreakSpot. There is no cost at these sites.

What it is

• Florida Summer BreakSpot — free summer breakfast and lunch sites for kids and teens, listed at summerbreakspot.org.
• These sites are part of Florida's Summer Food Service Program, run alongside USDA summer meals sites across the state.

The material here does not say who exactly can eat at a given site or what the age cutoff is — sites can differ. Confirm directly with the site or on the BreakSpot locator before you go.

How to find a site near you

• Go to summerbreakspot.org and search by your county or address.
• Call ahead if you can — hours, days served, and whether both breakfast and lunch are offered can vary by site.

If you also need somewhere for your child to be

A meal site is not supervision for the whole day. If you need after-school or summer care while you work, Florida has other options built for working families:

• 21st Century Community Learning Centers — federally funded, free after-school and summer programs at many Title I schools. See the Florida DOE 21st CCLC page.
• School Readiness — a subsidy that helps working families pay for before/after-school and summer care for children under 13, with a co-pay, through your county's Early Learning Coalition. See the School Readiness page.
• Boys & Girls Clubs — low-cost programs for ages 6–18. Find a club.
• YMCA — programs with financial assistance based on income, ask when you call. Find your Y.

Before you rely on any of this

This page is not legal, medical, or financial advice, and it is not an official government site. It can be wrong or out of date. Always confirm hours, eligibility, and cost directly with the site, program, or your county's Early Learning Coalition before you make a plan.

What to do next

The free After-School & Summer Finder FL tool reads your own numbers — your child's age, your county, your work hours, and your budget — and shows you the free and low-cost meal sites and care programs that fit, in English or Spanish. Nothing you type is stored.
