HOLLAND, Mich. — The Ottawa Area Intermediate School District is working to provide meals to every student in need during the state-mandated school closures due to coronavirus.
All the food services will be free regardless of whether a family qualifies for the free or reduced lunch program. Programs and pick-up dates vary by school district, but most are offering multiple chances to receive food for multiple days to limit the number of trips.
Children are not required to be with their parents to pick up the food.
Some districts are asking for advance information to ensure there is enough food for everyone in need. Parents are encouraged to check with their district ahead of time.
Pick-up procedures can be found online through the following districts:
