Eat Smart, Play Hard

Summertime means school is out but healthy free lunches are still available for many of San Diego's kids.

The Summer Lunch Program provides free lunches and snacks to all children, 18 years and younger, regardless of income, at school sites, Park and Recreation Centers, libraries, military sites and community centers within the San Diego Unified School District.

“There’s no enrollment, no paperwork and no income qualifications,” said Gary Petill, Director of the District’s Food Services program.

Southeastern Police Department
Southeastern X-FEST is the result of unprecedented community partnerships between the community organization Off The Streets, San Diego Parks and Recreation, San Diego City Attorney’s Office, and the Southeastern Division of the San Diego Police Department. Dedication from all involved brought forth Skate with the Pros in June 2011, which evolved into the annual Southeastern X-FEST highlighting healthy and legal alternatives that exist in the often difficult and unhealthy environment surrounding our families and youth today.
