HUNTINGTON òòò½ÊÓƵ” This summer, the Cabell County Board of Education will provide daily free meals at eight locations throughout Huntington and one in Milton and five-day meal boxes in four rural locations for Cabell County students 18 and younger.

Austin said in the email parents are required to sign up weekly if they intend to pick up a five-day meal box. Sign-up for meal boxes will begin at 1 p.m. on Monday, June 3 at .
Austin said since participation at daily meal sites was low for rural areas in previous years, the multiple day meal box became available in those areas and were approved by the USDA, although Huntington sites did not qualify for those boxes.
Breakfast and lunch will also be served at all summer school and camp locations throughout the county for enrollees.
