Teens and children 18 and younger can get free lunches two day a week this summer from June 20 through Aug. 10 at the Wake County Northern Regional Center on East Holding Avenue, thanks to Wake County’s Summer Food Service Program.
The lunches will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Families or the teens and children do not have to apply or show proof of income to take part in the program. For more information call 919-562-6384.
Nearly 56,000 youth in Wake County are eligible for free or reduced-price meals at school, according to county data. The federally-funded Summer Food Service Program helps fill a need during the summer when traditional-calendar schools are on break.
