Habersham County will continue its summer food program through 2025 to ensure local students have access to nutritious meals during the summer months. Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the program served over 60,000 students last year.
In collaboration with Food 4 Kids and Volunteers for Literacy, the program will operate from June 2 through July 17, distributing meals Monday through Thursday at various locations across the county. In addition to meals, students will also receive books, as part of VFL’s literacy initiative.
Hot meals will be served at designated congregate sites where students can eat on location. These include locations at Cornelia Elementary and the Tim Lee Boys and Girls Club – where breakfast will be served from 8 to 8:30 a.m., followed by lunch from 11 to 11:30 a.m.
For take-home meals, non-congregate pickup sites will include Habersham Central High School, Whispering Woods Coin Laundry, Wilbanks Middle School, the Cornelia Library and the Meadowbrook community. At these sites, meals will be available for pickup between 11 and 11:30 a.m. On Thursdays, children will receive an extra meal to cover Friday.
