Kennedy Elementary School and J. Watson Bailey Middle School. Students who attend any Kingston City School are welcome to stop by either of these two locations for breakfast and lunch items.

The Kingston Farmers Market has announced that they are securing a temporary permit to allow their farmers and vendors to supply stands for pickup in a county parking lot in Uptown Kingston during the last three market Saturdays of March 28, April 11 and April 25. This is a safe way for our community to access food, and they accept EBT and SNAP. More information can be found on their website kingstonfarmerksmarket.org, mailing list and social media pages.
