In Fayette County, free summer meals are available for anyone under 18 years old. FCPS said curbside pickup is not available—the child or teen has to pick them up in person and eat them on site.
Service windows for FCPS are June 12–29 Monday through Thursday for breakfast and lunch, and July 5–28 Monday through Friday for lunch only. You can find a detailed schedule of locations here.
FCPS and the Lexington Public Library are co-sponsoring the efforts, but library sites are only serving lunches.
