Nashville schools are offering free lunches this summer to anyone under age 18 — no matter their income — in an expansion of the annual summer feeding program.
Children can get a lunch through most of June and July at four locations (specific dates are below). And that even goes for kids living in Davidson County who don’t attend Metro Schools.
District officials say they serve 92,000 meals each day during the school year, but they worry about the summer. Research shows that as many as one Nashville child out of every five doesn’t have access to healthy food or lives in a home that sometimes runs out of food.
The city has joined neighbors like Rutherford County and Franklin Special School District in making the federally-funded meals as easy as possible to get. That means no cost and no forms to fill out.
In Nashville, the meals will be served at 1 p.m.:
- May 31 through July 22 at Fall-Hamilton Elementary
- June 13 through July 22 at Buena Vista Enhanced Option Elementary and Cole Elementary
- June 13 through July 14 at Pearl Cohn High School
