CCSD Students in Need can Access Summer Meals with Three Square Food Bank’s Meet Up and Eat Up Program
LAS VEGAS (MAY 27, 2025) — Three Square Food Bank and its community partners will continue providing summer meals to children in need through the “Meet Up and Eat Up” program. From Tuesday, May 27 through Friday, Aug. 8, children who rely on free and reduced-price lunch during the regular school year can access free nutritious food through this program, which encompasses the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).
With the rising cost of groceries, housing, and other essential needs, families across Southern Nevada are experiencing significant financial strain. As a result, thousands of Clark County School District (CCSD) students rely on free or reduced-price meals during the school year. However, when school ends each summer, many of these children are at risk of food insecurity. Currently, 21.6% of children in Southern Nevada – or one in five, which equates to 113,610– live in a food-insecure household. Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Nevada Department of Agriculture, Meet Up and Eat Up bridges the gap to prevent childhood hunger during the summer months by providing free meals to children in need.
