While the School District is fully remote, we are still committed to providing healthy meals for our students, and all children in Winooski. In order to better meet the needs of our families, our food service providers will be offering “make your own meal” kits so that students can make their own meals at home with the groceries provided through the district.
Each child in your family, ages 0-18, is eligible for one meal kit which has enough food for seven days for that child. The kits include breakfast and lunch. Meal kits typically include two pre-made meals, as well as bread, milk, meat, cheese, vegetables, fruit, and other staples.
These meal kits will be available for pick-up at the dates listed below from 9-10 am at three locations:
- Winooski School District
- Winooski Family Center
- O’Brien Community Center
Additional Meal Kit distribution will take place on TUESDAY, Dec 22nd from 9-10am and TUESDAY, Dec 29th from 9-10am so families have meals during the break.
If your family is experiencing extenuating circumstances (due to quarantine or health issues, for example) please contact your child’s teacher or guidance counselor to arrange for home delivery. Due to staffing issues, families must request meal delivery every week by the deadline listed below. Delivery is not guaranteed.
