Hardin County Schools will once again be providing its annual Summer Meals Program, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture.
“Meals will be served Monday through Friday between June 3 and July 29,” said HCS Community Relations Specialist John Wright. “No meals will be served on July 3 because of the Independence Day holiday.”
HCS says USDA guidelines require meals served in rural areas to non-congregate, or grab-and-go, meal service, while urban sites require congregate feeding, meaning the meals must be eaten on site. Participants will receive five days of breakfast and lunch meals at the non-congregate sites.
Participants must register, and can find more information, on the HCS website.
“Dates and times and locations, all that information is on the Hardin County Schools website,” Wright said. “If you just go to hardin.kyschools.us and click the Quick Links tab, right under that tab the very first item is 2026 Summer Feeding Program, so just click on that and you’ll find everything that you need.”
Free meals are available for any child 18-years-old and younger. Participants do not have to be a HCS student. Adult lunch is available for $4 at the Farmer’s Market, Dawley Park, and Optimist Park sites.
