PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — The School District of Palm Beach County’s commitment to feeding students while schools are closed continues.
There will be an expanded total of 35 sites across Palm Beach County distributing ‘Grab and Go’ bags filled with breakfast, lunch, supper, and a snack.
Boxes of food from Feeding South Florida will also be available on specific dates per location.
Food distribution will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the meals are free to anyone under 18 years of age (under 22 for ESE students), regardless of financial need.
The USDA has provided a waiver to allow parents and guardians to pick up meals without the child being present.
However, according to USDA guidelines, parents must provide confirmation of the number of children for which they are picking up meals by one of the following methods: Student ID, Passport, Library Card, or a photo with the adult and children.
The parent will need to show this identification to the staff before the meals are distributed.
To limit person to person contact, drivers can pop the trunk on their car, or leave a seat open for food to be placed inside the vehicle.
To encourage social distancing and safety, those who walk or bike up to a site, are asked to maintain a distance of at least six feet.
Some of the food distribution locations have changed, so it’s important to review the website before pickup.
There have also been changes to the schedule for the box food distribution provided by Feeding South Florida.
