Pitt County Schools to offer free meals this summer
PITT COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) — With summer break right around the corner, Pitt County Schools' is gearing up for their summer feeding program.
Starting June 16 until August 7, families in Pitt and surrounding counties can go to ten open sites offering breakfast and lunch on Monday through Thursday. These meals must be eaten on site, and all trays must be disposed of before leaving the site.
They're also offering for the first time non-congregate feeding in the Bethel and Belvoir area. 'They are going to lose a lot of their nutrition capabilities depending on the household. SNAP benefits are available again this year, but not all families get that,' School Nutrition Director for Pitt County Schools, Gretchen Wilson said. 'So, we just want to make sure that there is an opportunity for everybody to get a meal at any income level to help subsidize Sunday food they have at home or to be their only meal but help get them through.'
Breakfast will be from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and lunch will be from 11:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Dates of operation are subject to change based on meal participation and times may vary by location.

Ayden Elementary, Eastern Elementary.
HB Sugg Elementary.
Lakeforest Elementary.
Pactolus Global School.
Sadie Saulter.
