Free Meal Program Update
Weaver meals unavailable until Dec 9; no meals at John Glenn due to construction
Beginning Wednesday, November 25, District 622’s free meal program will provide adult meals at all locations. Adults living within District 622 can pick up meals every week, on Wednesdays, at any of our schools, with the exception of John Glenn due to construction.
NOTE: Meals will not be available at Weaver Elementary until December 9. Families who usually pick up meals at Weaver should plan to visit another location for the next two weeks.
Meal pick up is available at each school from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM except North and Tartan, where pick up takes place between 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM.
Thanks to a grant from the Coronavirus Relief Fund CARES Act through the Governor’s Office, adult meals will be available through December 30, 2020.
Since the pandemic began last March, our Nutrition Services team has provided over 1 million to-go meals for our families. Well done everyone!
