Summer Rural Meals

Free Summer Meals for Kids! 

The Summer Rural Meals Program

This summer, the Southeast Ohio Foodbank will be participating in the Summer Rural Delivery Meals Program. Participating children who meet the income requirements and live within Athens, Gallia, Lawrence, Jackson, Meigs, Morgan, Perry, Vinton, and Washington Counties will be able to pick up free meals during the summer when school is not in regular session. The distribution sites will be located at South Elementary (Morgan), Trimble Middle-Elementary, and Nelsonville-York Elementary.

This program is made possible through the support of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Governor’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

Please note that the Southeast Ohio Foodbank has been awarded a limited number of boxes to distribute each week. Therefore, applications will be approved on a first come, first serve basis. Your child may have to be placed on a waiting list if all slots have been filled before their application is received.
