Summer BreakSpot, a federally funded program designed to combat hunger during the summer months, allows organizations to serve nutritious meals to children in Florida after school ends.

When schools are released for the summer, our website stays up to date with an interactive map that allows you to find meal locations.

Contact our office to find out if a partner already exists in your area by emailing [email protected] or calling 1-800-504-6609. If there are no meal sites in your area, you can help to find community partners. A school district, nonprofit organization or local government agency can become a partner that is responsible for the administration of the program.

The Summer BreakSpot Program, also known as the Summer Food Service Program, is federally funded under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and, in Florida, administered by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Sites are locally operated by nonprofit organizations that provide the meals and receive a reimbursement from USDA.

In urban areas, many sites are within walking distance. Some sites are mobile and visit different areas throughout the day. If this is a concern for you, contact nearby sites and ask if they offer transportation.

At almost all sites, there is no application necessary and any child 18 or younger can simply come during mealtimes to receive a meal.
