COVINGTON, LA – The St. Tammany Parish Public School System is partnering with local community businesses to offer options for both weekly and daily distribution of “Grab and Go” meals beginning next week.

The daily option allows families to pick up one hot lunch and prepackaged breakfast for each child every weekday at Covington High and Slidell High from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m, beginning Monday, March 30.

The weekly option allows families to pick up five shelf-stable lunches and breakfasts for each child once a week on Wednesdays at six high schools and two junior highs from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. The weekly service begins Wednesday, April 1, 2020.

Both options are free and open to all STPPS students and children ages 18 and under.

The local community business partners will prepare and distribute the meals using their own facilities, staff, food and other resources.

“We have worked with local, state, and health officials to find this alternative way to distribute food to families in our community while helping to ensure the health and safety of all those involved,” said Superintendent Trey Folse. “The business partners have the resources to make this program sustainable so we can best meet the needs of our students, employees and community.”
