Beginning tomorrow, all NYC students (public, private, charter) can swing by any of the 400+ sites to pick up 3 meals per kid between 7:30am — 1:30pm on weekdays. As we are officially now “NY on pause,” and cannot congregate at playgrounds, it’s a good idea for our mental health to continue our daily stroll. This way, kids receive a treat at the end. Save a trip to the crowded grocery store and find a Free Meals location by clicking HERE. Downtown locations include Battery Park City School and Stuyvesant High School.

How to Pick Up a Meal

  • No registration, ID, or documentation required.
  • All three meals a day may be picked up at the same time.
  • No dining space is available, so meals must be eaten off premises.
  • Parents and guardians may pick up meals for their children‎.
