Beginning this week, children younger than 18 can visit three places in Nashville to get free breakfast and lunch all summer.

From Tuesday, May 30 to Wednesday, Aug. 2, free meals funded by the United States Department of Agriculture will be served at Brown County High School.

Breakfast will be served weekdays from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

No meals will be served the week of July 4.

For one week in June, lunch also will be available Monday through Thursday at the Brown County YMCA from 10:45 to 11 a.m. The dates will be finalized this week.

A lunch site also will be operated at Forest Hills Apartments off State Road 46 East in Gnaw Bone. But those meals will be for only the children who live in the complex, said Jason Kirchhofer, Brown County Schools food service director.

That site is open now until Aug. 2, with no meals served the week of July 4.

Meals are prepared and sponsored by the Brown County Schools food service department and are free to all children younger 18. No application or proof of income is required. Children don’t have to be students in Brown County to receive a free meal. The only requirement is showing up, Kirchhofer said.

Adults also can eat at the sites for $3.10.

Students who participate in summer school at Brown County Intermediate School will also be served free lunches as part of the program.

Meals will follow USDA nutrition guidelines.
