🌞Food Programs from PSD, TSD & Larimer & Weld Food Bank

By Melissa Shrader Editor Publisher Fort Collins Macaroni Kid May 28, 2026

Each Summer Thompson school district, Poudre school districts and Larimer Food Bank serve food to kids and families that would otherwise not get much if any food through the summer. Saving hundreds of dollars for families with children 18 and under.

They help feed kids who rely on foodservice all throughout the school year and they make sure that these same kids get food throughout the summer too! Most programs require meals be eaten onsite.

Kids and teens (up to 18) eat free. Parents can eat for minimal cost.

Weld County Summer Food Program

The Summer Feeding program is targeted to children in areas that are at risk for hunger over the summer months. Typically these are children who receive free or reduce priced school meals during the school year but are left without this reliable food source during the summer months. In each area where we seek to establish a feeding site, we partner with members of that community to support and maintain the site. The meals are prepared on site in our commercial kitchen and then safely transported to the feeding sites. All Summer Feeding sites are FREE to children 0 - 18 years old.
