Buncombe County Summer Lunch Program

May 31, 2016
Good food not only helps your body feel better but it helps your brain develop.  We are fortunate to have a helpful summer program in our area.  Any child from ages 2-18 can receive a meal within the serving times of that site.   No form of identification is needed, but the meal must be consumed on property.  The only food items that may leave with the child are the non-perishable items such as fruit or vegetables per food health code regulations. 

*Please note that a child is able to go to any one of these locations regardless of the district in which they live:
