Summer Meals Program

The BCPS Summer Meal program starts June 8! While school is closed this summer, children 18 and under can get a free lunch from one of three options; daily lunch at school sites, to-go weekly meal bundles, or the M.E.A.L. Mobile food truck stops.

Daily lunch at cafeteria sites: From June 8 through June 19, visit one of four school cafeterias for lunch Monday through Friday; Hildebran Elementary, W.A. Young Elementary, Mountain View Elementary, Valdese Elementary.  Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is free for anyone 18 and under. 

Starting Monday, June 22, only Valdese Elementary cafeteria and Mountain View Elementary cafeterias will be open. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Monday through Thursday and is free for anyone 18 and under. Each free lunch includes an entree, two sides and milk or water. 

To-go weekly meal bundles: Parents and guardians can pick up weekly meal bundles each Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting June 10 at Table Rock Middle School and East Burke High School. Meal bundles include seven breakfasts and seven lunches for each child in your household under 18. Children do not have to be present and no sign-up required- just drive up and we will load your car. 

Food truck stops: Starting July 6, the M.E.A.L. Mobile food truck will serve free lunch to anyone 18 and under at two spots in Morganton- Hillcrest Elementary parking lot from 11 to 11:45 a.m. and Martha’s Park from 12:15 to 1 p.m. each Monday through Thursday. 

Summer meals are available through August 13. All sites will be closed June 26 to July 3. Summer meals are open to the public, so children do not have to be BCPS students to enjoy. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
