School is out and free summer meals are in
Several local organizations are coming together to provide youth with free, healthy meals throughout the summer through the USDA funded Summer Food Service Program.
The program is open to all children ages 18 and under, no questions asked, and no registration required. Meals will be provided to all children without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination during the meal service. While many sites offer programming, kids do not need to be enrolled in programs to receive meals. Healthy Lincoln County Sponsors the following sites that are opened to the community to any child in the area:
