Free meals will be provided through the remainder of the summer across North Georgia thanks to help from the University of North Georgia. Children in eight counties will have access to the UNG-provided Summer Food Service Program, funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning’s Bright from the Start. All children 18 or younger are eligible and those 19 or older who have a mental or physical disability — as determined by an educational agency — and who participate in a school program for the mentally or physically disabled are also eligible to receive meals.
