Charles County Public Schools’ Lunch on Us program is back this summer, beginning June 20 at locations across the county!
Lunch on Us offers free hot meals on site for any child between the ages of 2 and 18. The meals must be consumed at the site due to the expiration of a federal meals waiver that allowed CCPS to offer grab-and-go meals.
