Area school districts are set to launch their summer meals programs this week.
Elizabethtown Independent Schools is offering free meals for children 18 and under at Elizabethtown High School, Morningside Elementary School, and the American Legion Park waterpark Mondays through Fridays from June 1 through July 24, with no meals served June 29 through July 3. Meals must be consumed on site. Parents who signed up for multi-day meal pick-ups will be contacted with more information. Contact the EIS Nutrition Services Department at 270-766-1231 for more information.
Hardin County Schools is running its summer meals program at several locations between June 3 and July 29, with no service on July 3. Rural locations are grab-and-go, while meals at urban locations must be eaten on-site. Free meals are available for any child 18 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. 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,” said HCS Community Relations Specialist John Wright. “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.”
Breckinridge County Schools is offering their summer meals program June 3 through July 22. During each pick-up, a parent or guardian may pick up five breakfasts and five lunches per registered child. Weekly registration is required by 11 p.m. the Monday before each pick-up. Meals are not guaranteed if you do not sign up.
“We’ve got a schedule that parents and families are able to get online and sign up for their free pickups, and we’re really excited that we’re able to offer that again for our kids and the community,” said BCS Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter.
The link to the registration form and a menu for the meals can be found on the Breckinridge County Schools Facebook page. Contact Valerie Dowell at 270-756-3007 for assistance.
