About the Dataset

This dataset contains contact and program participation information for summer meal sites approved by TDA to operate June 1, 2021 or later. Changes in participant information can occur through August. Summer meal programs typically operate June through the end of August.

In March 2020, USDA began allowing flexibility in nutrition assistance program policies in order to support continued meal access should the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) impact meal service operation. Sites participating in these flexibilities are indicated in the newly added COVID Meal Site column of this dataset.
