Meal Program for Children
The Maple Run Unified School District is now using the Free Summer Feeding Program to help feed the children of our community during the COVID-19 closures. We have our pick-up sites listed below and we are also delivering to bus stops in Fairfield, St. Albans City, and St. Albans Town. Our Delivery times start at 10:30 for St. Albans City and Fairfield, and they start at 11:30 for St. Albans Town. As we continue this program times may change, so please make sure to read or listen to future informational blasts.
Remember - there is no charge for this meal program. It is free to all children 18 and under. For people living in Fairfield, St. Albans City, and St. Albans Town we have permission to deliver to bus stops. For any other families, we have 3 pick-up sites in the city open for all children 18 and under even if they are not in our school system. Our charge is to feed our children during this uncertain time.
The bus delivery will be once a day Monday through Friday. Someone must come out and meet the bus at the normal bus stops. If you are not there when the bus arrives, a meal cannot be left. For Fairfield and St. Albans City routes, the delivery will be from 10:30-11:30. For St. Albans Town routes, the delivery will be from 11:30-12:30. The package will have lunch for the day and breakfast for the next morning.
