Superintendent Barbara Jenkins says they’ll continue to offer students eighteen years old and younger two breakfasts and a lunch through April 15. 

“There is no requirement to produce identification. Just come and tell us how many children you have in the car and we will take care of them.”

Senior Director of the OCPS Food and Nutrition Program Lora Gilbert says transportation, security, police, and food service staff are handing out the meals. 

Meals for the weekend will be distributed on Fridays. 

“Friday we’re hoping to hand out meals for Saturday and Sunday so then we can start again on Monday.”

Each pack contains milk, juice, a breakfast item like cereal, and lunch items like PB&J and pizza.

Please note a change we have made to one location. We have removed Star Motel and changed the location to Westside K-8 – 2551 Westside Blvd, Kissimmee, FL 34747. https://t.co/Sr2sToEdsx
