Program Provides North Fulton Students With Free Summer Meals

This summer, the Fulton County School System is serving free meals at more than 30 school locations across the county as part of its annual Summer Feeding Program.

Any child under age 18 may come and eat a summer meal.

The program is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s efforts to curb child hunger. Each summer, the USDA partners with local organizations like Fulton County Schools to provide free meals to children when school is out for the summer. Nationwide, more than 3.2 million low-income children participated in the summer feeding programs last July.

“The Fulton County School Nutrition Program recognizes the important role school meals play in combating childhood hunger,” said Alyssia Wright, executive director of the district’s School Nutrition Program. “For many families, schools are the one place their children can get a nutritious meal. Our summer feeding program allows communities to continue feeding children when school is not in session.”

In addition to serving summer meals at school locations, the Fulton County School Nutrition Program has also partnered with Action Ministries to help deliver and serve summer meals to four additional community locations.
