WHERE: Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce,
121 N. Main St., Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526
WHEN: 2025 dates TBD
In partnership with the Poe Center for Health Education, the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce, and Wake County’s Child Nutrition Division, the Growers Market is proud to have been selected once again as a Summer Meal Program site in southern Wake County.
ALL Children 18 years and younger are eligible to receive a breakfast. There is no cost to you.
Children will need to eat their meals on-site, but they can take home any non-perishable items they do not consume.
Crafts and other activities will be offered, along with dental hygiene education and vision screenings provided by the Lions Club.
Meals will be served on Saturdays throughout the summer inside the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce from 9-11am.
Children will be supervised by trained volunteers from the Poe Center, Wake County Food Security Division, and the Growers Market.
To ensure safety of children receiving meals, all volunteers have passed background checks.
About the Summer Nutrition Program
When school lets out, millions of low-income children lose access to the school breakfasts, lunches, and afterschool snacks they receive during the regular school year. The Summer Nutrition Program helps fill this gap by providing free meals and snacks to children who might otherwise go hungry.
The Summer Nutrition Program is funded by the USDA and administered by NC Department of Public Instruction’s NC Child Nutrition Program
