Summary
Pender County Schools said it has launched a summer meals program providing families seven days' worth of breakfasts and lunches each Wednesday at school and community sites across Pender County. The district said no application is required and named partners that support the effort.
Pender County Schools announced today that it has launched a summer meals program to provide free breakfasts and lunches to children and teens across Pender County, an agency official said.
The official said families can pick up seven days' worth of breakfast and lunch each Wednesday at convenient school and community sites and that no application is required for participation. "Together, we are feeding more than appetites," the agency official said.
The district said the program is made possible through a partnership with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and No Kid Hungry North Carolina, and credited PCS staff who prepare, organize and distribute the meals.
The statement framed the effort as supporting healthy children, stronger families and a community that cares for its own. The district described pickup days and site types but did not specify a full list of locations or the program's end date.
