This meal service will be available to all students aged 18 and under at Providence. Our goal is to ensure students have access to meals at no cost in a safe environment when school is not in session. 

On October 13, we will serve both lunch and snack simultaneously from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on our serving lines. Please note the following important guidelines from the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE):

  • Meals must be eaten on site
  • Enrichment Activities must be provided (FNS will have self-guided activities available)
    • However, participation in activities is not required,and students may leave as soon as they're done eating
  • Meals may be provided only to those 18 years old and under
  • Only 1 lunch and 1 snack may be provided per child
