Both breakfast and lunch will be served at no cost, according to the recent announcement by the Wake County.
So say hello to Beech Bluff Park in Willow Spring, fresh on the scene, slinging free lunch bags on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting the bell at 11 a.m. sharp till noon, it kicked off today, June 24, and parks itself there through July 31, now playing this pastime on repeat, you can sniff out the full list of where to munch at wake.gov/summerfood. In the words of Wake County Commissioner Tara Waters, "It’s up to all of us to make sure children get the food and nutrition they need, whether school is in or out for the summer," as per the Wake County's announcement. With Beech Bluff Park serving up the goods this year, the county’s got even more tykes covered.
Some locations will also offer enrichment activities along with the free meals to keep kids engaged. The program is organized by Wake County Cooperative Extension, which helps manage the sites and connect families with helpful resources.
