**UPDATE: At the request of private property management, the Henderson County Public Schools’ “Meals On the Bus” will no longer be stopping at the Leisure Lane site as part of the district’s 2021 Summer Food Service Program.
Effective Tuesday, June 29, 2021, the previously scheduled 1:50 p.m. stop at Leisure Lane along Route 1 will be discontinued, due to concerns from property managers about community members’ mishandling of resources.**
Henderson County Public Schools will continue serving the health and wellness of its students over the summer months through the Summer Food Service Program, which begins Monday, June 7. Below is a list of the public summer feeding sites operated by HCPS, providing meals to children ages 2-18 at no cost to families this summer.
HCPS operates its one public feeding drive-up site, the “Meals On the Bus” mobile sites, as well as closed feeding sites at elementary schools and youth service organizations through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program. During the summer, North Carolina families can also text “FOOD” or “COMIDA” to 877-877 to find summer meal open sites for children closest to their location.
