Finding Meals for School-aged Children

From Gwinnett County Public Schools:

As part of this week’s Digital Learning Days, 68 schools (listed below) will provide lunch for pick up for anyone 18 years of age or younger between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. These lunches will be provided at no cost to the individual through the federal School Nutrition Program. The student or child must be present to receive the meal. A child does not have to be a student at the school site to receive a meal. Again, select schools will have student lunches available for pick up between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. every day during the weeks of March 16-20 and March 23-27.

In addition, school buses will deliver meals at bus stops in the following clusters-- Berkmar, Central Gwinnett, Discovery, Meadowcreek, Norcross, Shiloh, and South Gwinnett-- and for the following schools-- Alcova ES, Arcado ES, Berkeley Lake ES, Chesney ES, Duluth MS, Harris ES, Jackson ES, Knight ES, Lovin ES, McKendree ES, Northbrook MS, and Sycamore ES. The buses will be making stops at their regular bus stops between 11 a.m. and noon. In order to get a meal the child will need to be at the stop when the bus arrives.

As this is an unprecedented situation, this is the first time we have attempted this type of initiative. We appreciate your patience as our dedicated staff work to coordinate this effort as efficiently and safely as possible.

List of schools providing lunch for pick up for anyone 18 years of age or younger between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.:

Anti-Asian Racist Incidents

There have been reports across the country of microaggression and racist attacks against Asian people due to xenophobia and fear around the coronavirus. Republican lawmakers and Donald Trump have referred to the virus as the “Wuhan virus” or the “China virus,” which experts say have most likely fueled the attacks against Asians across the globe. The non-profit The Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council (A3PCON) and Chinese for Affirmative Action have launched a campaign called Stop AAPI Hate. The goal is to generate content and media to educate people on the issue and staunch the attacks. People who experience racist attacks or other aggressions can report these incidents on http://www.asianpacificpolicyandplanningcouncil.org/stop-aapi-hate/ The forms are currently available in English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Japanese. In the case of emergencies or harm, please contact 911.
