FIND’s KIDS SUMMER MARKET IS BACK JUNE 1 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2025!
Kid’s Summer Market is a 17-week long program to fill in the meal gaps for students while they’re on summer vacation. Over 84% of students in the Coachella Valley qualify for free and reduced-price meals, a national indicator of food insecurity. When school gets out for the summer, these kids are missing out on meals they may have relied on to get through the day.
At FIND’s Kids Summer Markets, youth will receive healthy, kid-friendly snack bags at our Community Mobile Markets and program partner sites, in addition to balanced groceries to supplement the weekly nutrition needs of the whole family.
To pick up a Kids Summer Market snack bag, families can visit any of the sites below per the distribution schedule throughout June 1 – September 30. For exact distribution dates, times, and locations this summer, please visit our map and calendar.
Kids Summer Market will be available at our 29 Locations:

Rely on FIND’s summer meal program
Our community-based distribution partners like local schools, community centers, churches, and summer recreation programs receive healthy snacks to reach kids while school is out.
$25 can provide over 100 meals to ensure no child or family goes hungry this summer.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, FIND’s Kid’s Summer Club offered a Farmer’s Market Style distribution for kids to walk up and choose the fruits and vegetables they wanted to take home. FIND’s staff provided nutrition education, emphasizing the importance of fruits, vegetables, and a balanced plate to one’s mental and physical health; not only ending hunger for today but ensuring children are set up with the tools to nourish themselves tomorrow.
