94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Breckinridge County Public Schools is gearing up to launch their summer feeding program on Wednesday, May 21.
“We always have a really strong summer feeding program,” said BCPS Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter. “We have a lot of kiddos that take advantage of that, which it’s a huge help to so many of our families as everyone is feeling the effects of inflation right now with grocery prices and things along those lines.”
The district last year acquired a “Tiger Meals on Wheels” bus to use for the program.
“This year we’re doing every Wednesday throughout the summer weeks, and kiddos will be able to pick up five breakfasts and five lunches,” Carter said. “It will be per child, and we’ve got different drop-off sites throughout the county.”
The summer feeding program is open to all children, not just BCPS students. Families with students at other school districts or private schools and homeschool students are welcome to sign up.
“There are so many kids that the best meals they get a day are at school, and so we are always excited to be able to offer this service in the summer months for those children and those families,” Carter said. “You know, it’s hard times right now for so many of our families that are working hard every day to make ends meet.”
Registration is requested. Find the flyer with the list of drop off locations and the link to register on the Breckinridge County School District Facebook page.
