School District Announces “Grab & Go” Meal Pick Up Sites

The School District of Lee County’s Food and Nutrition Services department will be serving a “Grab & Go” breakfast and lunch at 23 schools between March 23 and March 27.  The USDA has granted the District the flexibility to provide these meals during a time of unanticipated closure.

Breakfast and lunch will be served together in a single bag.  The meals are free for anyone under 18 years of age.  Each child must be present at the pick-up location to receive a “Grab & Go” bag.  It is expected the meals will be eaten at home, and not the schools where they are picked up. 

The meals will be available for pick-up between 9 and 11 am at the following schools.

Cape Coral Elementary

Allen Park Elementary

The Alva School

Patriot Elementary

James Stephens Int’l Academy

Orange River Elementary

Hector Cafferata Elementary

Ray V Pottorf Elementary

Mirror Lakes Elementary

North Fort Myers Academy for the Arts

Pinewoods Elementary

Bonita Springs Elementary

Lehigh Acres Elementary

Tortuga Preserve Elementary

Riverhall Elementary

Colonial Elementary

Fort Myers Middle Academy

Food and Nutrition Services will be using the bus ramp of each of the schools to create an orderly process to drive or walk up, collect the “Grab & Go” meals, and then safely return home.  School Resource Officers will be on site to help with security.

Several School District community partners are also opening to provide “Grab & Go” Meals March 23 to March 27 between 9 and 11 am.

The location of “Grab & Go” pick-up sites is flexible and could change depending on the demand.  A current list will be posted on theFood and Nutrition Services section of www.leeschools.net. 

Breakfast and lunch will continue to be available as long as the District is operating under an unanticipated closure.
