SLPS, CHARTERS LAUNCH MEAL PROGRAM DURING COVID-19 CLOSURE

School gyms will serve as hubs for students to receive grab-and-go breakfast and lunch

ST. LOUIS, MO (March 17, 2020) – In partnership with the City of St. Louis and area charter schools, Saint
Louis Public Schools (SLPS) and its food services vendor Southwest Foodservice Excellence (SFE) will
provide free grab-and-go meals at 33 school sites throughout the city while the District is closed.

In coordination with schools across the region, Saint Louis Public Schools (SLPS) and charter schools
recently announced the closure of all city schools until April 3, 2020 (tentative) in order to help stop the
spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The schools listed will serve meals free of charge for all St. Louis children 18 and younger from 8am to
noon, Monday through Friday for the dates listed. No student ID is required. Students must be present
to receive the meal. The meals are “grab-and-go,” meaning students cannot stay at the school to eat
them because of social distancing guidance from state and local health agencies.

Distribution at each site will occur in the gymnasium. Please click on the name of the school for Google
Maps directions.
