Food4Kids

Today, along with the support of No Kid Hungry, we kicked off our 5th Annual Free Summer Meals and Concert Series Program at Franklin Elementary with more than 200 kids in attendance.

Jade Hendrix performed some beautifully soulful tunes while kids enjoyed a wholesome and delicious meal prepared by Nancy Weiss and her staff at Santa Barbara Unified Food Services. Laura Capps for School Board and City Councilman Jason Dominguez were both on hand giving their support.

This summer, across Santa Barbara County, there are 40 meal sites serving a variety of meal options - breakfasts, lunches, snacks and even some dinners - made possible through a county-wide coalition of partners, including the SB Unified School District, The City of Santa Barbara, SB Food Bank, Community Action Commission of Santa Barbara County, No Kid Hungry and Jeff Bridges.

To find which meal site is nearest you, simply text SUMMERFOOD to 877-877 and a list of sites will be texted back to you! No registration or paperwork is required. Meals are fresh, locally made, delicious and free for youth under 18, or available to adults for only a few dollars.
