UPDATE FROM THE WEST VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION: The Summer Food Service Program is an opportunity to make sure West Virginia children receive healthy and delicious meals when the school year ends. Student meals will be available for onsite dining at participating locations. However, popular pandemic waivers that allowed for flexibilities such as grab-and-go meal service, home delivery, guardian meal pick-up and multi-day meal boxes have all expired at the federal level. These options will no longer be available. To find summer meal sites near you, visit wvsummerfood.com or text FOOD or COMIDA to 304-304.
