Columbia Food Service will continue to pass out bagged breakfast and lunch on Monday, Wednesday and Friday's from 9 am to 11am for youth 18 and under at Columbia Elementary School. Simply drive up, open your window, and our Food Service Staff will bring the bag lunches to you. Your children do not have to be with you. There is no limit on days you can stop by.
