Community Consolidated School District 21 is proud to once again offer free meals to all children 18 and under through its Seamless Summer program for 2026. Designed to ensure children continue to have access to nutritious meals while school is out of session, the program provides meals at no cost — with no registration or paperwork required.
Running from Monday, June 8, through Friday, August 7, the program will be available at 15 locations throughout the district’s coverage area. Meals will be served from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with no service on June 19 or on Fridays in July.
“Summer should never be a barrier to a child receiving healthy, nutritious meals,” said Superintendent Dr. Michael Connolly. “Through our Seamless Summer program, we are proud to continue supporting families across our community and ensuring children have access to meals in welcoming, convenient locations throughout the summer months.”
Please note that children must be present to receive a meal. Meals may not be picked up on behalf of a child who is not at the meal site.
