Portland Schools Meal Sites

Jane McLucas Food Service Director at Portland Public Schools & Kathryn Sargent Executive Director Locker Project speak to Matt about Portland schools adding another meal site for students in need.

The nine other distribution sites for school meals are: Deering High School, East End Community School, King Middle School, Lyman Moore Middle School, Peaks Island Elementary School, Portland High School, Presumpscot Elementary School, Riverton Elementary School and Rowe Elementary School

Meals can be picked up at each site between 10 a.m. and noon weekdays at the bus loop. Parents do not need to bring their children with them in order to receive the meals and their families do not need to qualify for free or reduced price lunch.

The Locker Project, a nonprofit organization currently offering bags of groceries on a first-come, first-served basis at eight other mainland schools, will also be adding Reiche to its list. The bags of groceries will be available there on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to noon
