In case you forgot your lunch, need a lunch, or are just plain hungry in the middle of a hot summer day, the Cincinnati Public School Free Lunch Program is here to help. CRC provides free lunch sites across the city for youth ages 17 and under. There’s no fee, no registration, simply arrive at any site 15 minutes before the scheduled time so a lunch can be ordered.
CRC pools support this program and will close for 15 minutes to 1/2 hour as needed for children to enjoy lunch. Adult swims and/or day camp group swims will be held during this time at pools with adult participants.
Additional breakfast and lunch locations are available. Schedule is subject to change.
For information call Cincinnati Public Schools Food Service at 369-4610.
