Free Summer Meal Distribution In Cherry Hill Schools Ends Aug. 30

CHERRY HILL, NJ — Aug. 30 will be the final day of free summer meal distribution in the Cherry Hill Public School District, according to school officials.

The final day in which seven free breakfasts and seven free lunches will be distributed to families in the Cherry Hill Public School District for the summer is Aug. 30, noon to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

• School meals -- also used as a qualifier for many pandemic benefits.
• Sports and activities fees.
• Student Age Child Care (SACC) funding.
• ACT, SAT and AP Testing fee discounts.
• Scholarships, tuition assistance for dual credit and AP courses, and discount fees on applying for college.
