From Superintendent Addison Davis:
For the first time our district will provide students with free meals over Winter Break. Our tremendous Student Nutrition Services team is launching Winter Break Meal Bags. Each bag contains 14 meals – enough food to serve breakfast and lunch for 7 days for one child. These meals meet all USDA nutritional guidelines. Limit one meal bag per child.
We have multiple options for families to take advantage of this exceptional opportunity. Parents or guardians can reserve a meal bag by filling out a form at www.surveymonkey.com/r/HCPSWinterBreakMealBag. One form must be submitted for every meal bag reserved.
Families who reserve a bag will be able to pick it up at our Silo Bend Distribution Center, located at 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619, between 12pm and 7pm on December 14th, 15th or 16th. Supplies are limited, so reserving a bag is strongly encouraged.
If you are unable to reserve a bag at the Silo Bend Distribution Center, there will be another opportunity for families to pick up at one of 25 Grab and Go sites, from 10-11:30 a.m., on Thursday, December 17th. A list of the locations is below:
