Free Summer Meals Begin Today, And Here’s Where Your Kids Can Get Them

Beginning June 29 and running through August 21 (unless otherwise noted), free summer meals — breakfast and lunch — are back for another season of keeping all New York City kids healthy and happy, regardless of income, even when there is no school in session, and even if their parents are away at work during the day.
