FAYETTE COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – A food service program for youth in Fayette County is set to continue through the summer months.

Fayette County Public Schools, God’s Pantry Food Bank, and Employment Solutions participate in the “Kids Eat” Summer Food Service Program. The partnership provides free meals to all children age 18 and younger.

According to Fayette County Public Schools, meals are available on a first-come, first-served basis at designated locations, dates, and times regardless of where the youth live or attend school.

This federal USDA program helps fill the nutrition gap when school is out.
