Y NEWS AND EVENTS
Free Weekly Meal Boxes for Kids & Teens This Summer
The Y launched its 2025 Summer Food Service Program this month, providing free, nutritious meal boxes for children and teens 18 and under in Harnett County. Families can pick up boxes via drive-thru at Word Education Church in Lillington every Thursday from 4-6 pm through August 7. (Boxes are available on a first-come, first-seved basis.)
Each box contains seven day's worth of breakfasts and lunches and adheres to USDA guidelines. Boxes include the five components of a balanced meal, including fruit, vegetables, whole grains, meat/meat alternative and milk.
"This program is about more than food--it's about ensuring kids and teens continue to thrive physically and emotionally during the summer months," said Jeff Darling, CEO. "When kids have access to nourishing meals, they're more likely to stay acive, engaged and ready for the school year ahead."
