We will partner with schools and other community partners to distribute these items. The Foodbank will supply two months of seniors’ boxes in a single delivery so that seniors’ risk of social exposure is reduced.

Pattonville continues to offer free curbside meal pickup for Pattonville students once a week. Families can pick up meals from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5 to 6 p.m. on Mondays at Pattonville High School (except for days when school is closed due to holidays, breaks or winter weather). The meal bags contain five breakfasts and five lunches for the whole week and are distributed under the bridge at the high school.
The program is open to all children 18 years of age and under. No ID or paperwork is required to participate. Students who attend school for in-person learning will receive a free breakfast and lunch each day they are in school until further notice. Menus for meals offered via curbside pick up and in school cafeterias can be found online at psdr3.nutrislice.com.
When arriving by car please:
Write the number of children you are picking up meals for on a large sheet of paper and place it on your dashboard.
Stay inside your vehicle and open your trunk to allow staff to place the bags directly inside your car.
If you walk to one of the sites, staff will help you while maintaining the 6-foot social distancing requirement. Please wear a mask while visiting the pickup location.
