“Good nutrition for our children is a year-round goal,” said Department of Human Services Director Yusef Scoggin. “The Department of Humans Services is committed to helping make sure children don’t go hungry this summer with Schools Out Cafe.”
One meal per child is available both at breakfast and lunch. Parents or guardians may visit any site at any time, but attending the same site will help staff coordinate. The program runs from May 31, 2022, to August 19, 2022, and a list of the 31 sites and hours can be found on the City’s website. Questions should be directed to the Youth and Family Services Division at dhs-youth-family@stlouis-mo.gov or by calling (314) 657-1654, 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
