Summer Meals 2022

Starting Wednesday, June 29th!

Schedule of times and summer meals sites

SiCM serves free lunches in parks and various church lawns during the summer, to children and youth from infancy through age 18. We served 57,632 meals to kids in Schenectady County in 2021. In Schenectady, 80% of our children now qualify for free or reduced rate lunches when school is in session, and too many of these kids would not have regular meals during the summer break. That’s where SiCM and our tremendous teams of interns and volunteers step in.

Volunteer with Summer Meals!

To volunteer with SiCM Summer Meals you must first complete the Summer Meals Training. It’s a little different every year – so even if you have volunteered in the past – YES – you must watch the 2021 Summer Meals Training. New year. New Program. New Training.

Last summer SiCM served children and youth at more than 30 locations across Schenectady County.
