Gwinnett County extends Summer Meals Program

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA– Gwinnett County will extend the Summer Meals Program to include free grab-and-go meals on Friday nights, from Aug. 4 until Sept. 1. The meals are for families with children ages 18 and younger or adults 19 and older with a physical or mental impairment.

“So far this summer, more than 200,000 meals have been given to Gwinnett families,” said Parks and Recreation Director Chris Minor. “There is a strong need in the community and I’m grateful the Summer Meals Program is able to help fill that void and serve those in need.”

Meals can be picked up curbside at six sites from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. while supplies last. Pick-up locations include Bogan Park Community Recreation Center in Buford, Best Friend Park Gym in Norcross, Lilburn Activity Building in Lilburn, Lenora Park Gym in Snellville, Rhodes Jordan Park Community Recreation Center in Lawrenceville and Shorty Howell Park Activity Building in Duluth.
