The Jones County School Nutrition Program will be providing safe and flexible meals under the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) to children during the summer months. Nationwide non-congregate feeding and mealtime waivers have been established by the United States Department of Agriculture. This program will provide five days worth of meals to children under the age of 18 and individuals up to age 21 with a state-identified disability. Meals will be distributed once a week to children, the child’s parent/guardian or bus delivered. For example, a pickup site will distribute five days of breakfast and lunch meals on Monday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This bulk packaging option allows parents and children to enjoy nutritious meals all week without the hassle of picking up daily. The order form for meal delivery or pickup can be found on the Jones County School Nutrition webpage. The meal program will run from June 1 through July 23.

In addition to the trash and tires, six rolling containers of shredding were collected. The event was hosted by Keep Jones Beautiful and with the support of the Jones County Board of Commissioners. District 1 Commissioner Sam Kitchens once again accepted the trophy on behalf of his district for bringing in the most trash. Kitchens was challenged by District 3 Commissioner Wendy Vaughn and District 2 Commissioner John Wood, who both vowed to take home the trophy for their districts next year.
