The City of Tacoma announced that beginning June 23 all youth 18 and younger are eligible for free lunches and activities at participating parks as part of the Summer Meal Program.
City on‑air notices said activities will start at 10 a.m. and lunch will be served from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The program offers games, crafts and staff‑led activities at multiple park locations.
The broadcast directed viewers to parkstacoma.gov/activitiesandsports/summermeals for a full list of participating parks and locations. The city's announcement framed the program as a response to increased food insecurity and as a way to provide meals to youth who normally rely on school lunch during the academic year.
Organizers encouraged families to check the city website for site lists and any schedule changes before attending.
