Resources for Seattle-area children: Free meals, cheap Doctor visits

I am delighted to share two awesome programs that focus on helping kids!

The Summer Food Service Program, put on by the USDA, ensures that kids that rely on school meals won’t go hungry this summer. This is a nationwide program, and the Seattle program runs through June 27th – August 26th. You can find a site near you by zipcode. This program provides free meals for kids and teens ages 1-18 including breakfasts, lunches, and snacks in areas where at least half of the children are eligible for free or reduced price school lunches.

Because More is More put together a really insightful post announcing this free program. She discovered that 42% of students in Washington are eligible for free or reduced price school lunches! It would certainly seem that there is a need here.

For meals and sites in your community, please call 1-866-3-HUNGRY or check out more information on the Summer Food Service Program website.

Thanks, Because More is More and Steals Plus Deals!

In July and August, Bastyr Center in Seattle will offer well child visits for just $20! This is a wonderful opportunity for those who may be uninsured. To make an appointment or learn more information, please visit the Bastyr website.

Thanks, Centsible in Seattle!

Hey, Angela,

I mentioned this on Heather’s fb post, but I ran out of the house before I had time to share with anyone else. Anyway, I go this nice tip on all kinds of free health screenings for the family at Qwest. Hope it’s o.k. to just share here.
