ST. LOUIS — Two local school districts are making sure students have access to food during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Ferguson-Florissant
After suspending the program for two weeks, the Ferguson-Florissant School District will return distributing meals to students with a new plan.
The district will resume meal distribution starting on Monday, April 20 at two locations.
Families can go to The Savoy in Ferguson and Empower North County at Trinity Church in Florissant to take part in the meal distribution in a drive-thru fashion.
The Savoy location will distribute meals on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Breakfast and lunch items for two days will be available at this location.
The Empower location will be distributing five days of breakfast and lunch items every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"I'm pleased to share that we have developed a plan to resume meal distribution to our families with the help of some great community partners," Superintendent Dr. Joseph Davis said.
The district said they are working to have additional distribution points available soon.
