Waltham Boys & Girls Club Food Program
Waltham Boys & Girls Club’s food program is committed to ensuring all children in our community have access to nutritious food. Our year-round snack and meal programs ensure kids, 18 years old and younger, have access to nutritious food after-school and during the summer. Waltham trusts the Club and looks to them to fulfill this essential need while children are not in school. That way kids can focus on their day, and not where their next meal is coming from.
During the school year, the Club offers its members a healthy snack and dinner each weekday. Snacks are available from 3:05 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., while dinner is served from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Club will also be serving at the Waltham Library, snacks will be provided from 2:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., and dinner from 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with Friday dinners served from 4:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Families with children aged 18 or younger are welcome to enjoy a complimentary, nutritious meal.
During the summer, Waltham Boys & Girls Club will work to ensure students in Waltham can continue to access healthy meals through the Summer Eats Program.
