BRENHAM ISD RESUMING MEAL SERVICES WEDNESDAY

  

Brenham ISD is bringing back its meal service program to distribute food to students, albeit in a different manner.

Starting today (Wednesday), 1,000 boxes containing five breakfasts and five lunches per student will be distributed every Wednesday at Brenham High School from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Goodwill Missionary Baptist Church from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Each child present in the vehicle between the ages of 1 and 18 will receive a food box containing shelf-stable meals, which will be placed in the trunk of the vehicle to maintain contact-less delivery.

The district’s previous daily meal distribution was temporarily put on hold earlier this month after concerns that a district employee had been exposed to COVID-19, but it was later determined that the employee had not been exposed.

Child Nutrition Services Director Sandra Baxter told the Brenham School Board at its meeting Monday that the daily meal service, which ran from March 16^th to April 7^th, served 22,977 breakfasts and lunches across three delivery sites, reaching about 800 students a day.
