HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Henrico Schools announced Wednesday it would deliver free meals to all students through the end of the 2020-21 school year. The food is available to any child 18 or younger at all Henrico schools and certain bus stops. Parents and guardians can pick up meals at any Henrico school and do not need to provide student names or I.D. numbers.
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture had announced in September that it was extending two summer school meals programs — the Summer Food Service Program and Seamless Summer Option — through the end of 2020. Friday it announced that the programs would continue until the end of the school year, after Congress passed funding for the measure," a Henrico Schools spokesperson wrote in an email that announced the news. "Nutrition staff members offer free curbside pick-up service at all HCPS schools, and team with HCPS Pupil Transportation Services to distribute free meals directly to 61 stops in Henrico County neighborhoods, using school buses."
