Cherokee schools seek summer feeding partners
The Cherokee County School Nutrition Department is seeking partners for its annual Summer Feeding Program, which provides nutritious breakfast and lunches to hundreds of children a day.
Local nonprofit organizations, churches, summer camps and other groups that serve children in need are invited to an informational meeting scheduled for 2 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Cherokee school nutrition office, 135 Mountain Brook Court, Canton.
The program, a partnership of the Cherokee schools and Georgia Department of Education, serves children under the age of 18 years old and runs from June 4 to July 20. Those with questions can call the school nutrition office at 770-721-8419.
Last summer, Cherokee schools served 33,000 lunches and 20,000 breakfasts, an average of about 1,000 lunches and 600 breakfasts each day.
