HENRICO COUNTY, Va. – While summer is an exciting time for students, its also a time of year that can be difficult for children who rely on school to get their meals.

Henrico County Public Schools is offering free breakfast and lunch to children up to age 18 through the USDA’s Summer Food Service Program.

The program provides low-income children with nutritious meals when school is not in session. The meals are provided based on USDA nutrition guidelines.

The free meals will be offered from Monday through Thursday each week at 30 sites throughout Henrico County. All children are eligible for free meals, whether they are enrolled in summer programs or not.

Breakfast will be served from 7-9 a.m. and lunch will be served from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Specific breakfast and lunch times will vary depending on the location.

No registration is required and meals will be given on a first come, first serve basis.

Kids must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents and guardians are not eligible for the free meal service.

Meals will be provided to children at the following sites:
