The Virgin Islands Department of Education will resume its ‘No V.I. Child Goes Hungry’ Feeding Initiative on Monday, Jan. 25, due to ongoing COVID-19 testing for frontline staff. (The original date had been Jan. 21.)
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 the V.I. Department of Health, has been scheduled for school food service workers, bus drivers and monitors prior to the restart of the feeding program. These employees will also undergo COVID-19 testing.
All kitchens servicing the feeding program have received specialized deep cleaning by COVID-19-certified contracted cleaners.
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 pick up
