Free Meals to Our Qualifying Students

  • Posted April 19, 2020
     
    If you have received grab-and-go meals this past week, there is no change for next week.

    Pick up times for 2 days' worth of meals will be on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11am-12 noon. Meals will be distributed from school vans parked in front of:
    • East Falmouth School
    • Teaticket School
    • Mullen Hall
    • Falmouth High School (North Falmouth, Lawrence, and Morse Pond students should consider this location)
    Staff & Volunteers will hand bags to you in your vehicles. There is no expectation to provide your name or students' names when picking up food.

    If this is a new concern for your family, please contact us at info@falmouth.k12.ma.us  If you absolutely require delivery due to a lack of transportation, please contact us as well. We need to minimize the risk to staff/volunteers and want to make sure that delivery is an absolute necessity for your children to get fed. If you no longer require delivery, please let us know too.

    Our thanks go out to you, our staff, and community members that are working together in collaboration to provide these services to our students!
