Feeding Our Future: Free Summer Meals for Kids
Healthy Lincoln County and 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 (including gender identity and sexual orientation), age or disability, and there will be no discrimination during the meal service, according to Healthy Lincoln County, in a news release.
Healthy Lincoln County sponsors the listed sites that are open to the community to any child in the area.
