Lunch on Us, the free lunch program Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) holds over the summer, starts next month at select school locations for children ages 2 to 18.
The program will be held daily Monday through Thursday from June 20 to Aug. 10 at most locations. Sites will be closed on July 4 and the meal sites at Dr. Thomas L. Higdon and Mt. Hope/Nanjemoy elementary schools are open Monday through Thursday from June 20 to July 6.
Lunch on Us offers free hot meals on site for any child between the ages of 2 and 18. Children do not have to be residents of Charles County to take advantage of the Lunch on Us program. The meals must be consumed at the site due to the expiration of a federal meals waiver that allowed CCPS to offer grab-and-go meals.
