Food Distribution Plan

The Maple Run Unified School District has switched to the Free Summer Feeding Program to help feed the children of our community during the COVID-19 closures. We will have our pick-up sites listed below and we are also delivering to bus stops in Fairfield, St. Albans City, and St. Albans Town. You will be getting a short phone survey to help us prepare for delivery and pick-up by Thursday March 19th. 

First - there is no charge for this meal program. It is free to all children under 18. For people living in Fairfield, St. Albans City, and St. Albans Town we have permission to deliver to bus stops. For any other families, we have 4 pick-up sites in the city open for all children under 18 even if they are not in our school system. Our charge is to feed our children during this uncertain time. 

The bus delivery will be once a day Monday through Friday. Someone must come out and meet the bus at the normal bus stops.  If you are not there when the bus arrives, a meal cannot be left. For Fairfield and St. Albans City routes, the delivery will be from 10:30-11:30. For St. Albans Town routes, the delivery will be from 11:30-12:30. The package will have lunch for the day and breakfast for the next morning. There will be pick-up sites in the following locations; St. Albans City School, BFA St. Albans , St. Albans Town Education Center, and St. Albans Community Action. Pickups will be from 11:00-12:30. These sites are also providing two meals in each package, lunch and breakfast.

Please help us plan by answering the survey that you will receive shortly.
