Students may be out of school for the summer, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to eat healthy meals every day. The Summer Meals Program helps to bridge the gap and keeps kids healthy and strong every day. Buncombe County Schools collaborates with community organizations such as the YMCA and Asheville Parks & Recreation campers to assist in providing these meals.

We are excited about this collaboration because it pulls the community together for one common goal: to keep children from going hungry. Buncombe County Schools Nutrition has received multiple USDA awards in previous summers, and we look forward to carrying on the great tradition of feeding the children of Buncombe County over the summer months under our hashtag #feedingbuncombekids.

Mondays and Thursdays between 9:00 and 10:00 am are when meals can be picked up. On Mondays, children will have three breakfasts and three lunches; on Thursdays, they will receive two breakfasts and two lunches. Meals will come with heating instructions and be served cold or frozen.

These take-home meals are not available to kids who are attending camps or other events where summer meals have already been provided on those days. When picking up meals, please try to bring your kids along. In order to pick up meals for their children, parents and guardians must submit their first and last names as well as the names of each child. We will treat your information with confidentiality.
