As the district is closed on Memorial Day, meals will not be available for pick up on Monday, May 25. To make up for the district closure, meals will be available for pick up on Tuesday, May 26. Meals can be picked up at RFIS at 50 Court Street from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Pick up is also available from 9-9:30 a.m. at Copper Hill; 9:45-10:15 a.m. at Barley Sheaf; 10:30-11 a.m. at Francis A.

During pick up, all participants, with the exception of those under the age of 2, and those with a medical reason not to wear a facial covering must adhere to the governor’s executive order to wear a mask covering their nose and mouth and maintain social distancing of 6-feet from others.
