Free Summer Meals for Bulloch County Children 18 & Under with Pick-Up or Eat-In Service

Bulloch County Schools will host a free Summer Nutrition Program during the month of June to provide breakfast and lunch to any children ages 18 and under and any students who are over 18 who have been diagnosed with a state-defined mental or physical disability.

All sites are open to any child. They are not limited to school zones or residency.

This year families have the choice to either pick up a box of meals each week or go to a school cafeteria on weekdays for sit down meal service. Multiple locations are available to best provide service throughout the county. They are selected based on federal guidelines for the program. For this reason, the school district is unable to place sites at each school.

Families do not have to pre-register or pre-order to receive meals. The program will also provide free breakfasts and lunches to children who participate in the school district’s Summer Learning Opportunities program. Meal menus are available here. 

Weekly Meal Pick Up Option – Every Monday in June, 8 a.m. – 12 noon

• Drive to the front of the school site, and nutrition staff will give you a box of food for each child. The box will contain perishable and non-perishable food for five breakfasts and five lunches. On June 5, the boxes will also contain a free children’s book from the Statesboro Regional Library.
