Summer in the Treasure Valley is full of sunshine and popsicles—but for some families, it also means wondering where the next meal will come from.
That’s why the free summer lunch programs in our area are such a blessing. Schools, churches, libraries, and parks across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and Caldwell are offering free meals to any child 18 and under. No paperwork. No questions. Just love.
It’s a powerful reminder that God’s provision often comes through people—neighbors helping neighbors, strangers becoming friends. And when we come together like this, needs are met, hearts are lifted, and kids are reminded they’re seen and cared for.
If you know a family who could use this help, let them know: there’s a seat at the table. And if you’re looking for a way to serve, this could be your moment.
Check with Boise & West Ada School Districts, Caldwell & Wilder YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, Oasis Summer Feeding Program to get involved.
