Queens Public Library partners with NYC Public Schools to offer free summer lunches to children and teens 18 and younger at library branches across Queens. Kids pick up a free lunch at the branch, eat it on-site, and often join in activities like bingo, music, and games hosted by library staff during the meal hour. No registration, ID, or proof of income is required to participate.

This site participates in the NYC Department of Education's Free Summer Meals Program, offering breakfast and lunch at no cost throughout the summer to children and teens 18 years old and younger. The program is open citywide, with no registration, identification, or paperwork required to receive a meal. The school serves as one of hundreds of community feeding locations across New York City where youth can access nutritious food during summer recess.
