Philadelphia wants to ensure no students go hungry this summer. 303 Playstreets have offered lunch and a snack to children up to 18 years old, and more Playstreets will be added as the summer continues.
July 2 will be the last day for meal distribution at Sayre, Finletter, Overbrook Educational Center, Roxborough, Duckery, and Bethune schools.

As schools transitioned online, resources became limited to students across the city.
