Free summer meals still available locally

The 2023 South Cumberland Summer Meal Program is offering free weekly grab-n-go bulk meals for all children ages 2-18 and adults with documented disabilities now through July 28 at meal-distribution sites across the South Cumberland Plateau and surrounding communities.

Bulk meals include whole grains, milk, proteins, vegetables and fruit for five days per child. Proof of income is not required, and children do not have to be present with parents, guardians or caregivers who pick up meals. Biweekly menus will be posted on the South Cumberland Summer Meal Program’s Facebook page.
