Sept. 1, 2020

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Monday that schools will continue to have free meal waiver flexibility through Dec. 31. The announcement allowed U-46 to resume its free meal distribution beginning Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 40 sites across the District. All children 18 and under can receive a free breakfast and lunch on weekdays this fall during Distance Learning.

These meals are packaged to take home. No paperwork is required to pick up the meals - just visit the pick-up location most convenient for you. Children do not have to be present in order for parents or guardians to pick up meals. For an updated schedule and a list of locations, please visit www.u-46.org/food-distribution.
