Here are places where kids can eat for free or at a low cost this summer.
Feeding children during the summer holidays can quickly become expensive, especially for families whose children receive free school meals during the academic year. At CAP, we understand how challenging this shift can be. Suddenly having to provide three meals a day for each child can place a real strain on household budgets. That’s why we’ve put together this blog about where kids eat for free during the summer holidays, to help you if you’re looking to eat out occasionally or simply take a break from cooking.
