Parent Pick-Up Permits are available again this summer. Parents/Guardians will bring all children for the first time with them to their preferred school location. This allows parents/guardians permission to pick up meals without the children present on future visits. Parents/guardians MUST have this permit with them every day to pick up the meals, with no exceptions.

These meals are FREE to all children, no income guidelines, and no registration or paperwork. We highly encourage all our families to eat with us.  

Have a fun and safe 4th of July! See you this summer!
