Free Summer Meals for Burke County Kids!

Attention Burke County families! Starting June 4th and running through July 18th, the Burke County School Nutrition Program is offering free summer meals to all children (Birth to age 18) who live in Burke County.

Here's how it works:

Delivery: We'll be using our school buses to deliver weekly meal boxes to designated bus stops across the county on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Check the links below to find the delivery routes and the stop nearest to you. Buses won't stop at every house, so checking the list is important!

No need to travel: Since Burke County is rural, you can pick up meals directly from the bus stop – no congregate or (eating on the bus) setting required!

Meals included: Each box will contain five days' worth of healthy breakfasts and lunches.

Sign-up: There's no application or income requirement – all Burke County children under 18 qualify! We'll collect your child's name, age, race, and ethnicity on the first day of delivery to comply with USDA regulations.

Tracking: You can even track the bus delivering meals in real-time using a computer or smartphone! (Tracking is available by clicking here and on our Burke County Public School App
