Arlington EATS summer signups open

6/5/2026 5:42 am

Summer vacation is right around the corner and sign ups for the Arlington EATS Summer Vacation Lunch Program are now open!  Arlington EATS is happy to once again be providing lunch support for 7 weeks of the summer while school is out. I am hoping you could share information about the program with your families - I've attached flyers in English, Spanish, and Chinese that you can share, as well as more information below:

Lunch support from Arlington EATS will be available to any family with children in Arlington schools who would like extra help with food over summer vacation. For 7 weeks this summer, beginning Thursday, June 25 and running until Friday August 7, families are invited to shop at our market for free for nutritious and easy to prepare kid friendly foods. We will have sign ups for each week of the program; families will be able to select the weeks they would like to participate and if they would like to shop on Thursday or Friday.

Use this form to sign up for the program at Arlington EATS Market, 117 Broadway, on Thursdays,  from 4:00 - 6:30 pm or Fridays, from 9am to 11am. Appointment time slots will open on our scheduling website (PantrySoft) one week ahead of each week, and you will get a reminder email or phone call to sign up for a timeslot that day. If you have not been to the EATS Market and do not have a PantrySoft account already, we will send you instructions on how to make an account and sign up for a slot. If you are a regular EATS Market shopper, you can shop at the market in addition to the vacation lunch shopping time that week.

Note: if you already have a regular shopping time at EATS, you may shop during the vacation lunch times as well while your kids are not in school.

If you have any questions, please contact Shalini at ssreedhar@arlingtoneats.org or 339-707-6757!
