- Starting on Monday, the district will deliver ready-to-eat meals to families identified by each school as being in need. These are families that previously benefited from our meals programs. The breakfast programs or lunch programs offered through the school. The meals are being prepared by Truffles catering and distributed to families by priority of need. Some PACS have offered to volunteer their time to their schools and communities, however it was determined that the best course of action was to offer this opportunity to our own employees. Our bus drivers will be transporting and delivering meals. The frozen meals will be dropped off at three main locations and picked up by parents- the remaining meals will be delivered directly to families by staff. These are 5 frozen dinners, picked up once a week. Families with more than three children are offered two weekly portions.
- Again, by need of priority, the district would like purchase gift cards to local grocery stores. This would give parents and families in need the opportunity to purchase basic need items like toiletries and additional food items that are not apart of the meal program.
