Free Summer Food Program
RIVERSIDE, CA –
The City of Riverside Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department will be providing a free summer food program beginning Tuesday, May 31, 2022, concluding on Friday, August 5, 2022. The program is funded by the California Department of Education Nutrition Services Grant. The program will not be offered on Monday, May 30 and Monday, July 4. Meals are free for youth ages 18 and younger and are served on a first-come, first-served basis. Below are the locations and serving times. Whereas, in the last two years, participants were allowed to pick-up their meals and enjoy them off-site, this year that is not an option and all participants must remain on-site until meals have been consumed.
Vegetarian Meals are available with advance notice (at least 24 hours), by arranging with serving site staff.
