Fargo Public Schools to provide meals to local children

This week, starting on Wednesday, March 18 through Friday, March 20, Fargo Public Schools will provide free meals for children due to the current school closure.  Meals will be provided using a drive-through or walk-up meal pick-up process at certain school sites in Fargo.  CHILDREN MUST BE PRESENT TO RECEIVE MEALS.

On Wednesday, two hundred breakfast and lunch meals will be available for pick-up per site (see below for sites).  Children present will receive one cold breakfast meal and one cold lunch meal.  Household names, residency, and home school are not needed for pick up.  Meals will be available for children up to the age of 18 or older if receiving special education services.  All children who are present will receive the free meals while supplies last; parents need not be present to receive meals.  The free meal distribution will be solely for the pick-up of meals; meals will not be consumed at the site.
