Seamless Summer Option Gives Free Meals To Less Fortunate Kids
The Cherokee County School District is participating in the USDA's initiative, which runs June 6 through July 22 at select sites.
CANTON, GA -- The Cherokee County School District will once again participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Seamless Summer Option.
The initiative offers free meals during the summer for children 18 years of age or younger and runs Monday through Friday, June 6 through July 22.
All meals must be consumed at each location. Two sites also serve breakfast, and children can participate in either or both meals at no cost.

Nearly one-third of district students qualify for free or reduced-price meals during the school year, and this program ensures that children continue to have access to nutritious meals throughout the summer break.
The program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture; no district funds are expended for this program. For more information, contact Cherokee County School Nutrition Department at 770-721-8419.
