Hunger Intervention Program (HIP) is providing free lunches to anyone 18 years and younger at many locations around Seattle this summer. There’s no need to sign up or show any proof of income. These lunches are for any child who is 18 years or younger.
HIP’s Summer Meals for Kids provides freshly made, nutritious lunches including fresh fruits and vegetables from the HIP kitchen at kid-friendly locations around the north Seattle community. HIP partners with other community organizations to offer fun and safe activities at meal sites to encourage participation all summer long.
