Sonoma County’s Free Summer Lunch Program for Kids Returns for 2026
As summer approaches, the Redwood Empire Food Bank is once again ensuring that no child in Sonoma County goes without a healthy meal. The annual Summer Lunch program will run from June 8 through August 7, 2026, offering free, nutritious meals for children at sites across the county.

This year, the program will continue to offer sit-down meal service, giving children a welcoming place to enjoy their lunch on site. In addition, select locations will provide convenient grab-and-go meal options, allowing families to pick up a week’s worth of meals at once.

Meals will be available in Cloverdale, Santa Rosa, Cotati, Healdsburg, Sonoma, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, and Windsor. The program is made possible through partnerships with Santa Rosa City Schools and Healdsburg Unified School District, who will prepare the meals, as well as Sonoma County Library and Santa Rosa Recreation and Parks Neighborhood Services, who will host meal sites.
