We know that summer should be a time of fun—not hunger. That’s why we participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), providing children with free, nutritious meals when school is out, and access to school meals is limited.
Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, this program helps ensure no child goes without the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
Breakfast and lunch are available to all youth age 18 and under, beginning on Monday, June 8, at our Appleton, Menasha, and Neenah branch locations. Youth do NOT need to be Club members to be eligible for free meals. All children who could benefit from meals are welcome to stop by and enjoy breakfast and/or lunch on-site at the following Club locations.
When and Where Meals Are Available:
Beginning Monday, June 8, meals will be served at the Boys & Girls Club of Appleton (160 S. Badger Ave), Menasha (600 Racine St., Menasha), and Neenah (2065 Marathon Ave, Neenah)
