Curbside Meal Pickup Resumes In Evanston's District 65

EVANSTON, IL — Curbside meal pickup in Evanston's District 65 resumed this week with pre-order breakfasts and lunches available at seven locations.

The district's Nutrition Services Departments said all meals distributed through the curbside program are offered free of charge thanks to a waiver from the USDA.

Families must complete this form, available in English and Spanish, by Friday at 9 a.m. to receive meals for the following week. The form should only be completed once, the district said.

Families are also encouraged to complete the Free and Reduced Meal Application, even if they think they do not qualify, as its benefits extend beyond curbside meal pick-up and could help students get free or reduced-cost lunches while in school.

Families can sign up to receive a seven-day supply of breakfasts, lunches or both.

Meals will be distributed every Monday — or Tuesday on weeks with a Monday holiday — from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at seven schools across the district.

• Chute (1400 Oakton St., main parking lot) — 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. or 3-6 p.m.
• Nichols (800 Greenleaf St. (enter parking lot off Sherman Ave.) 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
• Haven (2417 Prairie Ave., enter parking lot off Green Bay Rd.) 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
• King Arts (2424 Lake St., pick up on Greenwood St.) 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. or 3-6 p.m.
• Walker Elementary (3601 Church St., parking lot off Church St.) 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
• Fleetwood Jourdain Community Center (1655 Foster St.) 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
• Evanston Township High School (1600 Dodge Ave., Door 27 off Wildkit Dr.) 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.

Breakfast and lunch menus are available on the district's website.

The school said meals are available for all students regardless of in-person or remote learning status. Still, meals for remote learners must be pre-ordered.

Instructions for storing and re-heating bagged meals are available on the district's website in both English or Spanish.
