Evanston City And Schools Partner To Provide Youth Meals

Press release from the City of Evanston:

March 13, 2020

The City of Evanston, Evanston/Skokie School District 65, and ETHS District 202 have announced an updated meal distribution schedule to assist youth affected by school closures.

As previously announced, free, cold breakfasts and lunches will be served to youth ages 1 to 18 years old at locations throughout the city. Beginning on Monday, March 23, this program will transition to a Monday-only schedule. Youth may pick up five days worth of meals at one time in order to reduce the number of times individuals will need to leave their homes.

Breakfasts and lunches for the week may be picked up between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Mondays only at the following locations:

• Fleetwood-Jourdain Community Center, 1655 Foster St.
• Robert Crown Community Center, 1801 Main St.
• Kamen Park David Wood Fieldhouse, 1111 South Blvd.
• Mason Park, Church Street and Florence Avenue

Meals will still be available for pickup between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 19 and Friday, March 20, as previously announced. The City is investigating options for spring break.
