Due to technical issues with our refrigerated trailer, we are relocating our Morganfield Grab-N-Go USDA SUN Meals site from Grace Fellowship Church to Union County Middle School for the upcoming Fridays: June 6th, June 13th, and June 20th. This change is necessary to ensure the safety and quality of our food.

Please drive south on Hwy 60 just 5 miles to Union County Middle School, located at 4465 US-60, Morganfield, KY 42437.Upon arrival at Union County Middle School, turn right into the parking lot and follow the orange cones. Grab-N-Go meals will be distributed at the end of the 8th grade wing (Door O). After pickup, please continue to the end of the lot and exit left toward Highway 60.

As a reminder, free summer meals are available for anyone age 18 and under through two options:

Traditional hot meals served Monday through Friday at Morganfield Elementary, Union County High School, the YMCA, and select Vacation Bible Schools.
Cold meals-to-go on Fridays, which include 7 days’ worth of meals and are available for families who signed up in advance.

While the sign-up window for cold Grab-N-Go meals has now closed, we encourage families who didn’t register to take advantage of the hot meal options available at our congregate sites or you may show up at the Grab-N-Go sites at 12:30pm to see if there are any extra or unclaimed meals.

If you are already signed up for Grab-N-Go meals, you may continue picking up at any of the following locations:
