SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March 31, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — The Salt Lake City School District announced Tuesday that it is partnering with the Utah Food Bank to provide shelf stable Kids Café Dinner at 15 designated school sites.

The additional meals will be offered three days a week, starting on Wednesday, April 1, as part of the district’s “Grab and Go” meal service.

Now, children can receive a sack dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, in addition to the breakfasts and lunches served Monday through Friday 11:00 a.m to 12:30 p.m.

The district provides the “Grab and Go” meal service for all children, age 18 and younger, to receive a breakfast and lunch each weekday during the COVID-19 school closures, a district news release said.

“This is done in a ‘Lunch Today, Breakfast Tomorrow’ style, where students receive a sack lunch to be eaten the day of and a sack breakfast, which can be refrigerated and eaten the next day.”

To help ensure safety, all meals will be prepared, packaged and delivered by SLCSD staff directly to a family’s vehicle.

If you don’t have a vehicle, walk-up service also is available.

The district says special meal requirements can be accommodated upon request. Contact registered dietician Brianna Hardisty at [email protected] to determine site locations and make additional arrangements as needed.

This federal seamless food service program is open to the public. Free/reduced meal benefit status and school enrollment is not a requirement. Meals will be provided at the sites and times listed below:
