As of Monday, June 18, WS/FCS DINE, a student nutrition division of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, began serving summer meals at 23 sites and will begin use of its new Food Truck and Mobile Meals program. 

Once again, free summer meals will be available to kids and teens ages 18 and younger at sites across the community. There is no paperwork to fill out – just visit one of the sites during mealtime and the child or teen can receive a fresh, nutritious, delicious, free meal.

Meals will be provided Monday – Thursday through Aug. 9, with the exception of the week of July 4th. (Service will be 7/2-7/3 and 7/5-7/6).  Breakfast will be served from 8:15 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.  (Mobile meal sites will have a specific lunch service time per location.)

Food is free to all children without charge and are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.

Both meals will be served at these school-based locations: Bolton, Cook, Easton, Forest Park, Gibson, Hall Woodward, Kennedy, Kernersville Elementary, Kimberley Park, Main Street, Mineral Springs Middle, Old Town, Petree, and Speas.

Kimmel Farm, Mineral Springs Elementary and Smith Farm will operate from July 9 through Aug. 2.

This year the school district is introducing its new WS/FCS DINE Food Truck and mobile meals program. The district will be serving 23 mobile sites this year at this time with the possibility of modification based on the community needs. The food truck will offer nutritious student favorites and in all locations, a variety of foods will be available, including an array of fruits and vegetables, whole grain rich bakery items and milk.
