Café Inc will be back during the summer holidays (Monday 6 July – Friday 14 August) for children and young people across Fife.
Café Inc provides free tasty, healthy meals while stocks last when our schools are closed during the holidays.
There’s no need to book, just turn up. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult, who can also have a meal if they wish, subject to availability. 
Councillor Linda Erskine, Fife Council’s Strategic Spokesperson for Communities, said: “I’m aware that there is still a lot of pressure on families over the school holidays, and sadly people continue to be squeezed by the cost-of-living crisis.
“It’s a very sad fact that during school holidays many children in Fife go hungry. I can’t accept that children should go hungry at any time and that’s why we, Fife Council, continue to run Café Inc. I sincerely hope that families with children take the opportunity to visit a venue in their area – not only to pick up a meal, but to stay and enjoy the company of friends and family in their community.”
The free lunches will be available in a number of schools and community facilities across the Kingdom.
Please be aware that there will be no Café Inc on Monday 20 July due to a public holiday.
Café Inc venues are listed on our interactive map – please take a look as some of the venues have changes – available at our.fife.scot/gethelp
As well as the map, there is also other advice and help with the cost of living available, including Lightening Reach. This is a tool that allows you to find and apply for support from multiple providers, quickly and easily from the charitable sector.
