Is Meal Delivery an Option?

Any child age 18 and younger, as well as special needs students up to age 21, can receive free meals. Each child receiving a meal MUST be present, unless the parent provides a copy of a birth certificate, current report card, or student ID for each child.

FREE Breakfast and Lunch Service for Students
Ensuring students have access to quality, nutritious meals is a key component of our support as we work during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). We want to provide you with information about our current food service plans so you and your family can plan.

Starting Monday, March 23, we will offer curbside breakfast and lunch to any child age 18 and younger Monday through Friday at several of our schools. A student does not need to attend school at the distribution location to get meals. Students must be present to receive a meal. Due to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) rules, we can only distribute meals to students when they’re on site. We are hoping the USDA relaxes these rules to make it easier to provide these meals in the future.

Drive-thru pick-up will take place in the front drive of each designated elementary distribution campus listed below. Pick-up at Stroman will be on the Ben Wilson side by the tennis courts. In an abundance of caution, people should remain in their vehicle. Meals will be brought to the cars.
