MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shelby County Schools has reopened it Central Nutrition Center and has a goal to serve 60,000 meals a day to local children through a partnership with YMCA.
Every Wednesday in July, SCS will be serving meals for children under the age of 18 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the following school locations. Each parent will receive six breakfasts and six lunches. Fresh produce boxes from Palazola Produce Company and dairy boxes from Turner Dairy will also be provided while supplies last. Parents must provide the child’s date of birth and school name if he/she attends school.
The Summer Food Service Program, which began July 1, allows local churches, childcare providers and youth organizations to sign up to become a meal distribution site for children in their own communities, SCS said. Your organization can apply to be a summer meal site here.
The YMCA will continue providing free meals at all of the current community meals sites throughout the summer.
