Q. What information does the parent/guardian need to bring?

Q. What safety measures are in place during meal pickup at the sites?
A. We are using a drive-up approach, Drivers are asked to remain in vehicles and will tell the staff how many children meals are needed for. The staff will place the number of meals asked for on a table and step back. The driver will then get out of the vehicle and retrieve the meals.
Q. May a parent or child walk to a meal site?
A. Yes. For safety reasons, we do encourage driving up to a site, but staff will gladly direct and serve those walking to a site.
