Schools continue to distribute meals for area students

Food service meals, including breakfast and lunch, will continue for all enrolled and non-enrolled students in the Northville Public Schools through the Michigan Department of Education waiver period, officials said last week.
These meals, served under the Unanticipated School Closure - School Food Service Program (SFSP) are made available at no cost to anyone (18) and under, or up to age (26) if they receive special education services.

The meals are 'grab-and-go' breakfast and lunch, and are distributed from the lobby of Northville High School from 9 a.m. until noon each Tuesday and Friday. At each visit on Tuesday, each student or their parents/guardians will receive meals for three days.
On Fridays, students may take both breakfast and lunch for four days, totalling meals provided for seven days per week. Breakfast meal components may include string cheese, fruit, grains such as a cereal bar, and drink. Lunch meal components may include deli meat sandwiches, vegetarian options such as cheese or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, fruits, vegetables and milk.
