 Although local children are gearing up to go back to school, hunger is still an issue for those that receive free and reduced lunches. To help end childhood hunger, the Arby’s Foundation is helping at-risk children in Raleigh receive free meals through its successful “School’s Out, Food’s In” program. As part of the “School’s Out, Food’s In” initiative, Raleigh children who rely on meal assistance during the school year received meal cards to redeem 10 free, wholesome Arby’s kids meals throughout the summer. Additionally, you can find FREE USDA meal programs near you by doing the following: - Text FOOD to 877-877 - Call 1-866-3-HUNGRY - Visit www.FoodFinder.Us   The Got to Be NC Festival, a family-friendly celebration of agriculture, food and fun, returns to the N.C.
