The BCPS Summer Meal program starts June 8! While school is closed this summer, children 18 and under can get a free lunch from one of three options; daily lunch at school sites, to-go weekly meal bundles, or the M.E.A.L. Mobile food truck stops.
Daily lunch at cafeteria sites: From June 8 through June 19, visit one of four school cafeterias for lunch Monday through Friday; Hildebran Elementary, W.A. Young Elementary, Mountain View Elementary, Valdese Elementary. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is free for anyone 18 and under.
Starting Monday, June 22, only Valdese and Mountain View Elementary cafeterias will be open. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Monday through Thursday and is free for anyone 18 and under. Each free lunch includes an entree, two sides and milk or water.
To-go weekly meal bundles: Parents and guardians can pick up weekly meal bundles each Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting June 10 at Table Rock Middle School and East Burke High School. Meal bundles include seven breakfasts and seven lunches for each child in your household under 18. Children do not have to be present and no sign-up required- just drive up and we will load your car.
Food truck stops: The M.E.A.L. Mobile food truck starts July 6 and will make stops at Hillcrest Elementary and Martha's Park each Monday through Thursday. Children 18 and under can get a free lunch. More information to come regarding specific times for each stop.
Summer meals are available through August 13. All sites will be closed June 26 to July 3. Summer meals are open to the public, so children do not have to be BCPS students to enjoy. For more information, please visit the BCPS website.
