Nutrition program offers meals for students this summer 

Hungry for a delicious meal this summer? Gaston County Schools has got you covered. Our annual summer nutrition program is back, providing easy access to nutritious meals at various bus stop locations and community sites across the county.

Students attending any of our summer camp program sites can enjoy complimentary breakfast and lunch offerings.

Starting Monday, June 3, we will distribute meals at non-school summer camp locations as well as neighborhood sites.  Meals will be available Monday through Thursday each week with some sites serving meals five days a week.  All meal sites will be closed during the week of the Fourth of July (July 1-5).

All students age 18 and younger are welcome to enjoy free meals regardless of where they live or attend school.

If you have a question, please call our School Nutrition Office, (704) 836-9110, ext. 7.
