NO MEALS DISTRIBUTION AT MARGUERITA. FAMILIES MAY PICK UP AT NORTHRUP OR OTHER AUSD ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TOMORROW.
Reposted from AUSD:
It's going to be a busy day for meal distributions tomorrow (Friday, December 18th)!
Normally, we serve a hot entree on Fridays, but because we are distributing the "Extra Eats" meal boxes (5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, and 5 suppers) and anticipating a larger turnout at each site, our staff will not be able to prepare the hot food items.
Friday's menu will stay the same as previously announced, but families will need to heat the lunch entree themselves.
A few reminders about Friday...
- Meal distributions will be open from 12:00pm to 1:30pm (or until they run out). Arrive early, if possible.
- It's a high school pupil-free day, so there will be no food distribution at the high schools or bus stops.
- High school students/parents may pick up meals from any elementary school (except Marguerita).
- Marguerita meal distributions continue to be closed due to shortage of staff. Families are encouraged to go to Northrup School instead.
- If you are picking up for multiple children, make sure you have sufficient space in your car for the meal bags and "Extra Eats" boxes. (If you are walking to the school site, we strongly recommend you bring a cart/wagon or large, strong bag with you.)
- Please be prepared to provide verification that you are picking up for children (18 or under).
- Meals are always distributed on a first-come basis. As we run low, we may need to limit the number of Extra Eats box per family.
We know the need for food is greater than ever and anticipating there will be long lines at times. Please do be kind and patient with our staff. They will try to get through the long as quickly and safely as possible.
