Davidson County Schools begins free summer meal program

Davidson County Schools is offering free summer meals to all children under 18 starting this week. 

Fourteen sites are providing breakfasts and lunches Monday through Thursday.

The elementary schools will serve food through July 10, while the middle schools will end a couple of weeks earlier. 

Each site has its own set schedule for meal windows. The elementary schools start serving breakfast at 7:30, and lunch around 11. The middle schools are about an hour ahead. 

Students receiving food must eat on-site — nothing can be taken off campus. 

A list of the schools serving meals and their schedules can be found here.
