Kids' Summer Food Program

Kids' Programs

During the summer months, the Northampton Survival Center’s Kids’ Summer Food Program provides eligible children with free food packages to help feed them breakfast and lunch every weekday for ten weeks during summer vacation. Children living in any of the 16 communities in our service area who receive free or subsidized meals through their school are eligible to receive this food.

Each session, every eligible child in the household can receive a bag of food which includes a variety of items (see box). Food is distributed in pre-packed bags during our regular pantry hours, while families are picking up their regular monthly food package. Both our Northampton and Goshen locations will distribute Kids' Summer Food Program packages.

Package Includes:

  • cereal
  • juice or package of juice boxes
  • canned vegetables
  • canned tuna
  • canned fruits
  • soup
  • macaroni and cheese
  • dry milk
  • peanut butter
  • jelly
