Rockdale launches free summer lunch and reading program June 5

Rockdale County Public Schools (RCPS), Rockdale Emergency Relief (RER), and Bread of Life Deliverance (BOLD) Ministries partner this summer in the fourth annual “Be Bright, Eat Right Rockdale” Summer Feeding Program to ensure Rockdale County’s children receive healthy, balanced and delicious meals throughout the summer.

If your child (up to age 18) lives in one of the neighborhoods served, they can receive a free lunch Monday through Friday during the summer (see locations and times below). Servers will be wearing bright blue “Be Bright, Eat Right Rockdale” T-shirts.

RCPS will deliver bagged lunches and books via school bus to locations in several neighborhoods across Rockdale County. RCPS will also serve lunch at walk-in locations at C.J. Hicks Elementary (1300 Pine Log Road) and Peek’s Chapel Elementary (2800 Avalon Parkway). Meals must be eaten on location or on the buses, which are air-conditioned. In addition to food for the body, RCPS will also provide food for the mind with books from the RCPS Summer Reading list. Students will be able to select books to borrow and take home with them. For updated delivery times or more information, contact 770-860-4223 or go to www.rockdaleschools.org/summermeals

RER will deliver bagged lunches to dozens of locations in neighborhoods around Irwin Bridge Road, Salem Road, and the city of Conyers. These meals are donated and prepared by volunteers, churches, civic groups, and more.
