Oakland Summer Lunch Program Seeks Additional Sites:

Oakland's free summer lunch sites help make it possible for the youth in our neighborhoods to have a healthy, balanced lunch every day. Recreation centers, faith-based organizations, and youth-serving community-based organizations are great candidates for the program. Summer lunches are provided by the City of Oakland at no cost to host sites. Organizations interested in becoming a host site can contact Carmela Chase at (510) 238-7992 or cchase@oaklandnet.com.
