If you think that it isn't worth it or safe to go and pick up these meals, think again. Pick up procedures are in compliance with social distancing rules, you make no contact with the distributor and everything is sealed and ready to go. It's also a huge bonus that these meals have nutritional and generous servings. They also give a snack and fresh fruits and vegetables.

The weekly curbside menu is advertised on the EPISD Food & Nutrition Services website and social media channels, as well as in a weekly text messages and emails sent to parents.

How do I know this? Because I have two nephews who benefit from this program. At the beginning, we didn't really think it was worth it to get the meals and we figured it was better to save the meals for someone who really needed them. But then we found out that if families don't take advantage of this program it could be removed, making it harder for children who are food insecure to get these free meals. So take advantage of this great program and find out where your nearest distribution site is by clicking here.
