Cincinnati Public Schools Continue To Provide Free Meals In Revised Plan

Press release from Cincinnati Public Schools:

April 20, 2020

Beginning April 6, the Student Dining Services Department is making modifications to the healthy food distribution program.

Meals will be available for pickup from 11 a.m. – noon, according to Jessica Shelly, director of student dining services. "We are adjusting the meal distribution time because most people were picking up their meals in the first hour."

In addition to altering the meal times, Shelly said meals will now be available at Evanston Academy. Meals will no longer be available at Withrow University High School and Frederick Douglass School due to a small turnout at those sites. "Families living near Douglass are encouraged to pick up their meals at Evanston Academy," Shelly said.

Meals will continue to be distributed on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays, with four meals (two breakfast and two lunches) on Mondays & Wednesdays and two meals (one breakfast and one lunch) on Fridays on a first-come, first-served basis.

Families with children between the ages of 1–18 can drive thru or walk up and pick up meals at the school sites. Children do not need to be present with their family.

Meal distribution will be in the parking lot at each school. If driving, please stay in your vehicle and meals will be presented to the driver. This program is available solely for the pick-up of meals. Food cannot be consumed on-site.

The following schools will be meal distribution sites, effective April 6:
