Summer Food Service Program - Meet Up & Eat Up

This initiative is designed to ensure that children and teens in our community have access to nutritious meals throughout the summer months, when school is not in session.
What is the Meet Up and Eat Up Summer Foods Program?
The Meet Up and Eat Up Summer Foods Program is a statewide initiative led by the Michigan Department of Education. The program aims to provide free, healthy meals to children and teens during the summer vacation. By participating in this program, Pontiac School District helps to bridge the nutrition gap that can occur when school is out, ensuring that all students continue to receive the essential nourishment they need to grow and thrive.

The Meet Up and Eat Up Summer Foods Program is open to all children and teens aged 18 and under. There are no income requirements or registration needed.
