Hawai‘i DOE’s free Grab-and-Go meal program is being extended for students at 203 schools through Dec. 18, 2020.
The announcement comes after the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture announced it would extend funding for its Summer Food Service Program.
The Grab-and-Go program offers any student, ages 18 or younger, nutritious meals for breakfast and lunch. All parents or guardians need to do is pick up the meals curbside to take home.
Pick-ups will include one lunch for that day and one breakfast for the following, day per child. Distribution will be available Monday through Friday, excluding holidays and designated school breaks, at drive-thru lines at the campuses listed below and walk-up lines where possible.
Free breakfast and lunch meals can be picked up during lunchtime from any of the 203 participating Hawai‘i DOE schools. Meals may be picked up without children present but parents and guardians must provide one of the following verification documents:
- Official letter or email from school listing child(ren) enrolled.
- Recent student report card(s).
- Attendance record(s) from parent portals of school websites.
- Birth certificate(s) of child(ren).
- Student ID card(s).
- Driver’s permit(s)/license(s) for high school students.
- State-issued identification for the child.
A list of those schools is below, and the same list and verification documents needed can be found online at www.ainapono.org/grabandgo
