As part of its year-round commitment to student health and wellness, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is once again launching its annual summer meals program to ensure children across the city have access to free, nutritious meals even when school is out of session. Starting this month, hundreds of CPS schools will serve as summer meal sites—providing breakfast and lunch to students enrolled in summer programs as well as any Chicago children ages 1 to 18. Children do not need to attend a CPS school or be enrolled in a summer program to receive meals. No ID or registration is required, but children must be present and meals must be eaten on-site, in accordance with federal program rules. Families are encouraged to visit www.WeGotYouIllinois.org or call (800) 359-2163 to find a summer meal site nearby. A searchable map of CPS summer meal locations and schedules will also be available on the District website. For More Information:
