Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) distributed 1,925 free meal kits on Thursday to support families in need. The effort was part of the USDA Summer Food Service Program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which allows school divisions to provide meals to children at no cost.
Meal kits were available to all children up to age 18, regardless of enrollment in PWCS. Each kit included two breakfasts, lunches, suppers, and snacks. The meals were distributed at three middle schools: Fred Lynn in Woodbridge (708 kits), Hampton in Woodbridge (571 kits), and Unity Braxton in Manassas (646 kits).
