How does the program work?
The โgrab and goโ meal service will work much like our summertime feeding program, and it is
intended to help families who depend on our School Nutrition program for meals.
โช When you arrive at the meal pickup location that is most convenient for you, look for the
school bus in the front parking lot.
โช Go to the school bus and ask for a meal. The meal will be packaged in a bag.
โช The meal will be provided to children (age 18 and younger) free-of-charge.
โช You should plan to take the meal with you โ there will not be a place to eat on-site.
โช You may pick up a meal at any of the 11 locations, regardless of where you live or attend
school.
If you have a question about the โgrab and goโ meal program, call (704) 836-9110.
