Closed River Valley School Districts Carry On with Feeding

Closed River Valley School Districts Carry On with Feeding

Story via harborcounty-news.com.

With Michigan schools closed through at least April 12, one of the major focuses in local districts has turned to providing food for those who need it.

As a Facebook post from the New Buffalo Area Schools put it: “Due to the school closure starting Monday (March 16), we will begin our summer feeding program a little early.”

The New Buffalo, Bridgman and River Valley districts are all providing free pre-packaged breakfasts and lunches on a “grab and go” basis until school resumes at various locations.

Children enrolled in Blessings in a Backpack at River Valley will have access to their weekend food bags each Friday, March 20 through April 3, at the designated River Valley School District meal pick-up locations. At each of these locations, families may drive up to collect not only the school’s breakfast and lunch packs, but also their Blessings in a Backpack weekend food bags.
