Berkeley is facilitating free lunches and snacks for under-18-year-olds this summer at locations across the city.
In the Berkeley Unified School District, 42 percent of students receive free or reduced lunch during the school year, which is easily accessible when school is in session but can become difficult to find during the summer. City Councilwoman Linda Maio recently sent an email to her district asking her constituents to spread the word about the free summer lunch program.
Berkeleyside has created a map, above, that shows where the lunches are distributed. Below is a list of the dates and locations of the free lunch and snack programs.
Lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and snack is served from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at all locations.
The locations for free lunches and snacks are scattered across the city. View this interactive map in a larger window.
