Fairfax County Public Schools Provides Food For Students
Free grab and go meals are available to Fairfax County Public School students through Dec. 31
FAIRFAX, VA—Free free grab and go meals are available to Fairfax County Public School students in numerous ways —at multiple school sites, along school bus routes, and at “pop-up” locations on weekdays through Dec. 31.
All FCPS students, regardless of age, are eligible for free grab and go breakfast and lunch, as well as other county children, under the age of 18. Adults picking up meals for children should let staff know how many children's meals they need. Adults may pay $2 for the meals as well.
In Fairfax City, the following services are available:
- Daniels Run and Providence Elementary School: curbside meal pickup, 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. weekdays
- Curbside meal pick-up stations are generally located in the bus lanes at the schools or in the kiss-and-ride area. Look for the canopy tent along with Food and Nutrition Services staff, who will deliver meals directly to vehicles.
- Walk-ups are still welcome at all sites. Walkers are asked to use school sidewalks to safely navigate their walk to the pick-up stations.
- Green Acres Center: pop-up grab-and-go, 7:45-8 a.m. weekdays
Participants are expected to follow social distancing guidelines, wear a face covering, and practice regular band-washing (including prior to leaving a residence to pick-up meals, upon returning home, and before consuming food).
