DOH-Miami-Dade WIC & Nutrition Program Collaborates with Summer Food Program to provide free meals

By DOH Miami-Dade

June 13, 2017

The program is part of the National Summer Food Service Program, a federally funded program operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and administered in Florida by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. These mobile Summer BreakSpot sites are made possible through the summer food sponsorship of the Sisters for Abundant Living, a South Florida nonprofit organization. Many community partners, dedicated staff, and volunteers collaborate together to ensure that kids and teens in the county have access to these meals and engaging activities in the summer months.

Families can find sites near them via texting "FoodFL" to 877-877, by accessing the website www.summerfoodflorida.org, or by calling 2-1-1. There are no income requirements or registration. Anyone age 18 or younger may come to eat. The mobile Summer BreakSpot program will visit select WIC sites, Monday to Friday from June 12th to August 18th, at the following locations and times:
