Gilroy Offering Free Meals To Children

GILROY, CA — The Gilroy Unified School District is serving free meals to all Gilroy children up to the age of 18.

The meals will be distributed at five schools: Eliot Elementary, Glen View Elementary, Rod Kelley Elementary, South Valley Middle and Solorsano Middle.

Meals can be picked up Monday through Friday from noon to 2 p.m.

Rucker Elementary will also serve free meals to all children in Gilroy Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Meals can be picked up by any adult caregiver for all children in a home, and there is no identification required.

The first time a family visits one of the school sites they will be asked to complete an application to determine eligibility for free or reduced meals. This application helps the district and schools receive much needed funding to be able to provide food to all children, regardless of financial status.

Only one application needs to be completed per family, regardless of the number of children in the home and schools of attendance.
