Fargo, ND— From Monday, March 23 through Friday, March 27, Fargo Public Schools will provide free meals to children due to the COVID-19 school closure. Grab & Go cold breakfast and lunch meals will be provided using a drive-through or walk-up meal pick-up process at sites listed below; families need not leave their vehicle to receive a meal.
Due to federal regulations, children must be present to receive meals. Please note that locations have been expanded.
Children may go to any location to receive a meal and are asked to watch for the yellow school bus. Free meals will be available for any child up to the age of 18 (up to 21 if receiving special education services).
