The Clinton School hosts a site for the NYC Public Schools Free Summer Meals Program, which served by the New York City Department of Education provides free, ready-to-eat breakfast and lunch to all children and teens ages 18 and younger. No registration, identification, proof of income, or proof of address is required, and any child in the age range may simply come to the school to eat during meal times.
