www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County government is planning to step in to pick up where Gwinnett County Public Schools' meal service will leave off when it ends this weekend, making sure kids continue to have access to meals during the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic.
The county government and school system are working together to transition from the meal service program that the district has run for the last two months to the county's expanded Summer Meals program. The school system's program ends Friday. The county's Summer Meals program will begin the following Monday.
“It is the common goal of the Board of the Commissioners and the Board of Education to assist families and make sure children receive nutritious meals during this challenging time,” Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlotte Nash said. “For some kids, this may be the only meal they get that day.
County officials said parents and kids can pick up meals while supplies last between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and registration is not required. Additional information about the program is available by visiting
www.GwinnettSummerMeals.com or calling 770-822-8840.
The Summer Meals locations include:
Pinckneyville Park, 4650 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, Berkeley Lake
Shorty Howell Park, 2750 Pleasant Hill Road, Duluth
