Summer should be a stress-free time for parents and kids.
Let HRDC’s Summer Meals Program help! Summer Lunch provides free, healthy meals to ALL kids and teens 18 and under at locations throughout the Gallatin Valley. Each site offers a safe space where children can stay active, enjoy nutritious food, and spend time with friends. There is no application or proof of income needed to receive a meal. Just show up and enjoy! All meals served follow USDA nutrition guidelines.

All sites operate June 15th – August 26th, excluding June 19th and July 3rd.
Summer Lunch could not operate without a dedicated team of more than 70 volunteers. Volunteers help with meal prep, bag prep, dishes, and serve lunches to children at all of our meal sites.
If you would like to volunteer for Summer Lunch please make an account through our online volunteer platform, and register for a training or a shift today.
All volunteers interacting with children must complete the Summer Lunch Volunteer Training before being able to view these shifts.
For all summer lunch inquiries, please email summerlunch@thehrdc.org.
