Many kids lose access to healthy meals when school is out for the summer, but that's where Clubs come in. Through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County’s Summer Meal Program, children and teens ages 18 and younger can continue to eat healthy meals, including breakfast and lunch or snack, throughout the summer at no cost.

Children do not have to be classified as economically disadvantaged to participate; there is no paperwork to complete.  The free meals program is intended to help bridge the gap for children who are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity in the summer months when school is not in session.

The Club also provides opportunities like reading and recreational activities. “We call them enrichment activities,” said Chelsea Dow, Nutrition Coordinator at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County. “They support our goal of helping kids eat well, stay active, and live healthy lives in a fun, engaging way.”

*Meals will be served Monday to Friday (except holidays) at the sites listed below.

*Please note that meal service times and dates vary and are subject to change.

Please contact Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County directly at 661-325-3730 if you have any questions.
