From Stafford County Schools:

Stafford County Public Schools (SCPS) is increasing its Grab and Go meal service. Beginning Monday, March 30, 2020, students will receive a two-day supply of breakfast and lunch meals, available every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for a total of twelve meals per week. During its first week of service, the school division has successfully prepared, transported and served 18,120 meals to students and families.

The school division will continue to provide meals to all children without charge or discrimination, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. Meals are provided on a first come, first served basis at the following locations every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week until further notice:

  • Widewater Elementary located at 101 Den Rich Road in Stafford;
  • Kate Waller Barrett Elementary located at 150 Duffey Drive in Stafford;
  • Falmouth Elementary located at 1000 Forbes Street in Falmouth;
  • Rocky Run Elementary located at 95 Reservoir Road in Fredericksburg; and
  • North Star Early Childhood Education Center located at 101 Shepherds Way in Stafford.

 

Staff will distribute two-day servings of “grab and go” bagged lunches and breakfasts from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. In addition to providing school sites where families can pick up meals, SCPS will have food drop-off locations in the community.
