Fall 2020 Update: Breakfast and Lunch Are Free for All Students
September 22, 2020
English | Español | Tiếng Việt | 中文 | Русский | Soomaali
As the 2020-21 school year gets under way, we are excited to share news about school meals. Through our partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture, we will be able to provide school meals for all students at no cost at this time.
The USDA announced that it is continuing a program that made free breakfast and lunch available to all children during the summer. For Portland Public Schools, that means we will be able to offer seven days’ worth of meals every week for not just PPS students, but all Portland children ages 1-18.
As we announced in August, we have expanded our meals sites to 38 schools where families can pick up sacks of breakfast and lunch on select days, from 3 to 5 p.m. Starting November 2nd, hours shift from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
Our regular meal service schedule will be:
Mondays: 2 days’ worth of food
Wednesdays: 2 days’ worth of food
Fridays: 3 three days’ worth of food
The complete list of meal pickup sites is available at our Fall 2020 Meals webpage. Families are welcome to visit any school site for meals, regardless of whether their children attend that school. There is no need to sign up, register or provide student ID when you arrive. All sites are outside, and we ask that you wear a facemask and practice physical distancing as you pick up meals.
MEAL DELIVERY
For families not near a meal pickup location or who need assistance accessing meals, we will be offering home delivery of school meals. If you would like to participate, please fill out the online form.
