IMPORTANT UPDATE TO SCHOOL MEALS!
After making our recent announcement about the Universal Free Lunch Program, we found out that the US Department of Agriculture will extend the waiver flexibility to allow schools to participate in the summer nutrition program through December 31, 2020, allowing EVERY CHILD to receive meals at NO COST.
All children 18 years or younger may continue receiving meals* at no cost! Also, households will no longer have to request meals for children in their household**.
*These meals are for children (18 years and younger) only and we ask that community members only pick up meals for children and not for adult consumption.
**Starting the week of Sept. 14 households will have to order meal kits to be sent home which include 3 breakfasts and 3 lunches for elementary and middle school households.
**High school and virtual school households will order meal kits that include 5 breakfasts and 5 lunches. These meals kits are only for days students are not physically in school. Students attending school will receive meals at no cost and will be allowed to purchase a la carte items, if desired, if there is money in their school account.
