Henrico County Public Schools will participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Summer Food Service Program, offering meals to children during the summer at 25 area sites this summer. The federal program is administered in Henrico by the HCPS Department of School Nutrition Services, to help ensure that children receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.

After each scheduled meal service for children enrolled in summer programs is over, meal service will begin for others age 18 or younger who are accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents and guardians are not eligible for the free meal service. Meals are not available to go and must be consumed onsite.

Food service will be from Monday through Thursday each week. All meals sites will be closed June 19 for the Juneteenth holiday, and July 4 in recognition of Independence Day. Breakfast will be served from 7-9 a.m. and lunch will be served from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Specific breakfast and lunch times will vary depending upon the location.

Service is on a first-come, first-served basis to children and teens 18 and younger accompanied by a parent or guardian. Meals will be provided at the following sites:
