Free Grab And Go Meals For Kids While School Is Out
With schools out for the next few weeks there are many kids that sadly will go without food. To help with that issue, many school systems in Charlotte and the surrounding area are doing what they can to provide kids with meals.
Starting today, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will provide grab and go meals while schools are closed. Lunch (and breakfast for the next day) will be served in participating school’s parking lots. Meals are free for anyone 18-years old and under and children must be present to receive meals.
Meals will be distributed Monday-Friday from 10:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. and there are numerous locations in the Charlotte area which are below.
