The Pierre School District plans to continue providing free, grab and go breakfast and lunch meals for youth ages 18 and under through the month of June.
Food service director Liz Marso says distribution is done Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays using white food trucks. She says the Grab and Go meals include a hot lunch for the day, a cold lunch for the following day and two cold breakfasts for the next two days.
Marso says if usage numbers remain consistent, if it continues to be safe and if she has the staff to prepare, package and distribute the meals, there is a possibility the free youth meals would be offered all summer. She’s asking people to fill out a brief survey to gather information about how the free youth meal program is being used.
The food service trucks will be in these locations in Pierre:
- Southeast Community Center Parking Lot (2315 E Park Street) and Georgia Morse Middle School Back Highland Parking Lot (309 East Capitol Avenue) from 11:30am- 12:15pm.
- Buchanan Elementary (100 North Buchanan Avenue) and Jefferson Elementary (900 N. Poplar Ave.) from 12:30–1:15pm.
