BCS summer meals program to begin June 4

Announcement from Buncombe County Schools:

As we wrap up our BCS Virtual Days, we will transition to our traditional summer meals program serving children in Buncombe County.

The summer meals program, which begins on June 4, 2020,  has changed slightly since last summer. This summer, we will have locations for our families to pick up meals curbside at a school or pick up meals at a predetermined location in your community. Also, breakfast and lunch will be combined. So, for example, you’ll get lunch for the day and breakfast for the following morning at one stop. Additionally, your Friday meal pick-up will include three lunches and three breakfasts to enjoy over the weekend.

As a reminder, these meals are provided at no cost, and any child under 18 may receive them.

Beginning June 4, we will no longer use yellow buses for meal delivery, so please look for the Buncombe County Schools logo on your meal delivery vehicle.

Also, you may text FOODNC to 877-877 for a site near you. (Or COMIDA to 877-877).
