Grab-and-go meals are now available for district students

Free lunches can be picked up at two spots.

To ensure that Mercer Island School District students continue to have access to the nutrition they need to succeed, the district’s food services department is now providing grab-and-go meals this school year.

Meals are provided at no cost thanks to the extension of a USDA nationwide waiver, which is in effect through as late as Dec. 30, depending on available funding.

Lunches can be picked up between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. in the Mercer Island High School and Islander Middle School commons. Walk-ups will be accepted. Masks are required to enter the buildings, and all social-distancing and safety protocols will be followed.

Families are still encouraged to complete an application for free or reduced-price school meals. For information, visit https://www.mercerislandschools.org/Page/85
