The expansion of the ECU Health Office of Community Health summer meals program will include Roanoke Rapids.

The program is in partnership with Food Lion Feeds, Sodexo and the ECU Health Foundation. The two other new locations include Edenton and Windsor. Ahoskie, Greenville, and Tarboro are existing locations.

The Roanoke Rapids location is East 10th Street Christian Church from June 8 through August 20. The church is located at 1207 East Tenth Street.

Meals will be available Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“We are excited to continue offering healthy meals during the summer months, and our expansion to Edenton, Roanoke Rapids and Windsor reflects ECU Health’s commitment to nutrition and overall health,” said KaSheta Jackson, vice president of Community Health at ECU Health. “For many children, school is where they receive their most consistent meals and many parents struggle to provide meals when school is out. ECU Health’s Summer Meal Program helps fill that gap, ensuring kids and teens are nourished and healthy during months when school is not in session.”

Since 2021, ECU Health and its partners have provided free meals over the summer. In 2025 alone, the program served more than 4,500 meals. 

The other locations are as follows:

Ahoskie: The Gathering Place, 701 Church Street

Edenton: Shepard-Pruden Library, 106 West Water Street

Greenville: York Memorial AME Zion Church, 201 Tyson Street from June 15 to August 20

Tarboro: Braswell Community Center, 1501 Western Boulevard

Windsor: Bertie Cooperative Extension, 104 Lancaster Avenue

With the exception of Greenville, the program at the other locations will follow the June 8 through August 20 schedule
