The City of Montgomery Parks and Recreation, in conjunction with
the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE), will offer its annual Summer
Food Service Program June 2-July 25, 2025. The participating sites include: Highland
Gardens, Loveless, Hayneville Road, Houston Hill, McIntyre, Goodwyn (Teen Site
Only), Willie Cook, Sheridan Heights, and Chisholm.
Each summer across Alabama, millions of meals are served to children and teens at risk of hunger at more than a thousand sponsor sites. The ASLDE’s Child Nutrition Program aims for even more participants this year at sites in Montgomery, including both the number of children and teens receiving meals as well as the number of sponsors providing those meals.
While Alabama’s Break for a Plate Summer has outpaced the growth of similar programs in other states, there remains a critical need for sponsors, particularly in rural areas where children and teens often live further from school.
ABOUT BREAK FOR A PLATE SUMMER
Montgomery Parks and Recreation in partnership with Break for a Plate Summer,
Alabama’s summer food service program, will provide one nutritious meal Monday
through Friday to children and teens, 5 to 18 years of age, during the summer months,

Education and the USDA, Break for a Plate Summer served serving a record 3 million
meals to children in 2018. Visit www.breakforaplate.com/summer, or call 211 today for
