Pender County Schools is once again partnering with the NC Department of Public Instruction, No Kid Hungry North Carolina, and the Carolina Hunger Initiative to provide free summer meals to children 18 years of age and younger across the county. This vital program helps ensure students have access to nutritious meals even when school is out.

Beginning Wednesday, June 18, and continuing weekly through Wednesday, July 30, families can pick up five (5) days of breakfast and lunch at Rocky Point Elementary. Pickup times will be from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM every Wednesday.

No application is required to receive meals; however, families can pre-register for food pickup by completing a registration form, which is available online here: https://forms.gle/9ywM682HA52263Vy8 Upon meal pickup, the name and age of the child will be required. This program is part of a statewide effort to reduce food insecurity among children and ensure all students return to school ready to learn.
