The Hall County School District’s (HCSD) summer meals program this year served tens of thousands of meals to children, according to figures released this week by the district.
The program provided 37,964 breakfasts and 46,206 lunches through a network of serving locations. In total, 31 sites participated, including eleven off‑campus locations and two mobile routes that delivered meals directly into neighborhoods.
Officials said 79 staff members supported the effort, which is designed to ensure students have access to nutritious meals when school is not in session. The program is part of a broader initiative to reduce hunger and expand access to summer nutrition services.
