Although public schools in Hawaiʻi officially end Thursday, May 28, keiki will continue receiving free meals at select locations through Friday, July 17, as part of the Seamless Summer Option, a meal distribution program held every summer. (see list of Oʻahu schools below; and for schools statewide, click here).
Participating schools will provide free breakfasts and lunches to children 18 years or younger, regardless of their eligibility for free or reduced-price meals.
Walk-up and drive-through services will be available. Dine-in options are not allowed, due to social distancing measures.
- Breakfast will be served from 7:30 to 8 a.m., Monday to Friday, except holidays. Food must be eaten by 10 a.m. for safety.
- Lunch will be from 11:30 a.m. to noon, Monday to Friday, except holidays. Food must be eaten by 2 p.m. for safety.
The Seamless Summer Option is a continuation of the Grab-N-Go program that served free meals to thousands of keiki during the stay-at-home order that began in March.
The rules will be the same: To receive free meals this summer, keiki do not have to be enrolled at the school distribution site and do not have to be public school students.
Parents may pick up student meals without their kids present but must provide one of the following documents each time:
- Official letter or email from school listing child(ren) enrolled.
- Recent student report card(s).
- Attendance record(s) from parent portals of school websites.
- Birth certificate(s) of child(ren).
- Student ID card(s).
- Driver’s permit/license(s) for high school students.
- State-issued ID of the student.
These locations will serve meals from May 29 to July 17
