Staff will be onsite distributing meals at each location on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 11:00 am-12:00 pm. Food service will only be preparing the number of meals requested, so please plan to pre-order meals one day in advance. Click for April's breakfast & lunch menu.
Meal requests should be sent to: mealorder@mhlt.org. Emailing the above address by 9:00 am on the day prior to meal pickup is the only way to request a meal.

You're welcome to request recurring meals (pickup all three days) in which case we will always have meals ready for you and you will not need to email daily.
These meals are provided at no cost to any family; even if you normally pay full price for school breakfast and lunch, you are eligible to receive free meals during this period of school closure mandated as a result of COVID-19. Children under 18 living in the home, but not attending Minocqua J1, are also eligible to receive these meals.
The School Track is Open
The playground equipment is OFF LIMITS to everyone.

NFL HUDDLES UP TO PROVIDE FREE DIGITAL EDUCATION
The NFL and several of its charitable partners have made digital education and wellness resources available for free for teachers, parents and students across the country to utilize during this unprecedented time when alternate forms of learning are needed. These resources provide additional opportunities to learn outside of school as millions of students across the country are displaced from their classrooms.
The NFL family is taking a first step to rally together to help those who need it most during this time and will be announcing additional relief efforts and financial support shortly. During this past season, the NFL asked our fans and communities to huddle together and give back as part of Huddle for 100. There is no more important time than now to continue this critical message.
As part of this first phase of support, the NFL and its partners have made a number of online resources available to students and families. Click here for those resources.

Reimbursement for Families During COVID-19 Crisis
Expensify.org/hunger to reimburse families in need during COVID-19 crisis. These are unprecedented times, and it's inspiring to see communities rising to the challenge. However, not everyone has the resources to "shelter in place" especially the millions of people in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Living paycheck to paycheck is hard when millions of businesses around the nation are closing down indefinitely, and hourly workers (including those dependent upon tips) are the hardest hit. In particular, families with kids whose primary meals happen at school are especially vulnerable when those schools shut down.
With this in mind, Expensify.org is going to temporarily redirect all of its charitable funds to Expensify.org/hunger. With its ability to reimburse volunteers directly in real-time,
Expensify.org is uniquely positioned to help families in need immediately. Until today, this fund was focused on paying off kids' "lunch debts", but with schools closed around the nation, that isn't the top priority. Instead, we're devoting everything to a new program: matching SNAP grocery purchases up to $50 per family.

GLAYSO Youth Soccer Update
The GLAYSO Soccer Board is actively monitoring the ongoing situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, and has made a decision to currently postpone the soccer sign ups originally scheduled for April 14, 15 and 16. We have temporarily suspended online registration until we determine our next course of action with the National AYSO Office.
Our goal is to get everyone back to playing when it is deemed safe.
Thank you for understanding in this time, and hope you all stay safe and well.
