Hardin County Schools will provide free lunches for any child 18 years old or younger on weekdays this summer with their Summer Meals Program.
“Every day during the summer, there are always children and their families who come to take advantage of not only the school locations, the school site locations, but also the locations that are mobile,” said Hardin County Schools Community Relations Specialist John Wright.
He says HCS is excited to offer this federally-supported program.
“We know for some students or some children that this may be a way to provide meals for a meal that they may not have been able to receive throughout the summer months, so there’s a great need for it and we’re glad that our Child Nutrition Department can provide the Summer Meals Program,” Wright said.
The program runs June 3 through July 26, with no meals on July 4. Children do not have to be a HCS student to participate. Adult meals are available for $3. Food must be eaten on site.
A menu and a list of locations can be found under the Quick Links tab on the Hardin County Schools website.
