Washington DC, September 18th, 2026 — Capital Area Food Bank is serving afterschool meals for children in the District of Columbia, Prince George’s County and Northern VA through the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
To make sure kids who need one are getting an evening meal, the food bank participates in the federal Child and Adult Care Food Program, allowing us to provide healthy, kid-friendly meals to locations throughout the region that host programs for kids once the school day ends. This program fills meal gaps, supplementing school-based federal free or reduced-price breakfasts, lunches, afterschool snacks and dinners for children 18 and under. Meal service is extended through the summertime, with sites offering daily breakfasts, lunches, snacks and suppers through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP).
Acceptance and participation requirements for the program and all activities are the same for all regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. Meals will be provided at the sites and time as follows, with additional sites added throughout the school year:
