Marlborough Schools Change Meal Distribution Schedule

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Starting Monday, Marlborough Public Schools will stop handing out free meals to students and families on a daily basis, but will make up for the change by providing extra meals.

Now, meals will be distributed Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Families will be able to get extra meals on these days to cover the non-distribution days, according to school officials.

Marlborough school buses distribute meals at designated stops to anyone under 18. Breakfast goes out at 8:30 a.m., and lunch comes at 11:45 a.m.

School is out in Massachusetts until at least May 4 due to the coronavirus outbreak. Marlborough schools closed on March 13 following the city's first positive case of coronavirus. There were 60 confirmed cases as of April 4, and eight people have recovered from the virus.
