BCPS continues to seek organized summer programs where free meals can be served

Each summer, BCPS provides free meals to more than 300 organized programs in Baltimore County, such as summer camps, daycare programs, and religious groups. Programs can register online to receive free breakfast and lunch meals for participating children. The program must serve at least 25 children (ages 2-18) daily, and staff will be required to complete annual compliance training. For additional information, program organizers can email SFSP@bcps.org or call 443-809-7855.
