The meals are being served at various locations throughout the county Monday through Friday through July 30. There are no income requirements or registration, and anyone 18 or younger can receive free meals from 11 a.m. until noon at the following locations: Douglas Byrd High School, 1624 Ireland Drive; Cape Fear High School, 4762 Clinton Road; Jack Britt High School, 7403 Rockfish Road; Seventy-First High School, 6764 Raeford Road; and W.T.
