Banneker Recreation Center is a historic DC Department of Parks and Recreation facility in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Ward 1, located across from Howard University. Through the DC Youth Meals Program (administered by OSSE in partnership with DPR), the center serves free breakfast and lunch to youth 18 and younger during the summer. Youth do not need an ID or application; they simply show up at posted mealtimes to receive a free meal.

Cardozo Education Campus hosts a free summer meal site as part of the DC Youth Meals Program, a federally funded initiative of the Office of the State Superintendent of Education that ensures children and teens ages 18 and younger continue to receive nutritious meals when school is out. The site is open to all neighborhood youth regardless of school enrollment, with ready-to-eat breakfast and lunch served on campus during the summer break, so families do not need to worry about paperwork, identification, or income verification to participate.

Operated through a partnership between the DC Department of Parks and Recreation and the Office of the State Superintendent of Education, this site hosts the seasonal DC Youth Meals Program, an open-access summer feeding site serving free, ready-to-eat breakfast and lunch meals on-site to local youth when school is out. Hunger doesn't take a summer break, and these meals help children and teens get the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow during the months when National School Lunch and School Breakfast meals are not universally available. The program is funded by the US Department of Agriculture's Summer Food Service Program, and the site is hosted inside the 4-story Columbia Heights Community Center, one of DPR's larger neighborhood recreation facilities.
