‘Grab and Go’ meals available to students engaged in remote learning

Students who are at school two days a week for in-person instruction have breakfast and lunch meals served to them in their classrooms.  But, what about when students are engaged in remote learning at home?

Grab and Go Meals

 
The “grab and go” meal pickup is conducted in a drive-up format.  The meals are free for children ages 1-18 years, and children are not required to be present to receive a meal.  Students/parents may pick up a meal at the location that is most convenient for them. 

Students/parents should plan to take the meal with them as no place is available for eating on site.  For more information about the “grab and go” program, call (704) 836-9110.
