The V.I. Department of Education will resume virtual learning for all public school students on Jan. 7, and its “No V.I. Child Goes Hungry” feeding initiative will resume on Jan. 20 in both school districts. Additionally, Jan. 25 will mark the start of a hybrid model of instruction, with some student groups returning to school campuses while others continue to learn from home.
Breakfast and lunch will be available for pick up at 9 a.m. at all distribution sites, Monday through Friday, until supplies last. The feeding initiative does not operate on holidays and weekends.
Additional reeducation training on COVID-19, conducted by V.I. Department of Health professionals, has been scheduled for food service workers, school bus drivers and school monitors prior to the restart of the feeding program. These employees will also undergo COVID-19 testing.
All kitchens servicing the feeding program will receive specialized deep cleaning by COVID-19-certified contracted cleaners, focusing on detailed sanitization of all kitchen areas.
Parents or guardians picking up meals should note the following:
Meals are limited to five per person (five breakfasts and five lunches)
A face mask or facial covering must be worn when collecting meals
Identification is not required at pickup
