The success of local Summer Food Service Programs depends on the support and engagement of the community. Thank you for your interest in being involved.
Summer Meals are offered at many different types of places, including schools, parks, community centers and faith-based organizations. They can be part of existing programs or serve as standalone offerings. In February each year, new organizations have the chance to attend training and apply through Oregon Department of Education Child Nutrition Programs. Learn more and contact Jessica Visinsky at jessica.visinsky@state.or.us or 503-947-5897.
Many Summer Meal programs need ongoing and one-time volunteers to help serve, prepare, or transport meals, conduct community outreach, and support enrichment or physical activities at sites. The best way to find volunteer opportunities is to contact the Summer Meal program sponsors directly. You can find this information using the listings on the map, under “Sponsoring Organization.” For school districts, please direct your calls to the “Nutrition Services” department.
