It’s that time of year again - Seamless Summer Meals are here! The Wilkes County School Nutrition Department is excited to once again provide meals for our school children, as well as any child 18 years old and younger in our community.
Throughout May, June, and July, summer meals will be available at various locations throughout Wilkes County. Please reference the attached flyers for specific meal sites, dates, and serving times.
On Thursdays at participating community locations, children will also receive 3 breakfast meals and 3 lunch meals to take home for the weekend.

We look forward to serving our community this summer!
