All Traditional Escambia Students Now Receive Free Meals; Remote Student Meal Locations Updated

September 28, 2020

All Escambia County School District students will receive free meals as of Monday, September 28, and pick up locations for remote learners have been adjusted.

All traditional learning (brick and mortar) students will receive free meals at school at no charge, according to the Escambia County School District Food Service Department.

ECSD’s pick up breakfast and lunch service has now been expanded to include any child 18 and under. Families can continue to pick-up meals for multiple students in one stop.

“If the child is not in the car, parents picking up meals will need to provide the names of the children who will receive the meals” said Jaleena Davis, ECSD director of School Food Service. “Distribution location changes were made based on the numbers of families who have frequented our school sites and comparing our locations with other local sources.”

Some schools were removed the distribution list for remote learners (including Ernest Ward Middle). The new ECSD school distribution sites and times, effective Sept 28, are listed below:

    Karen & Richard:
    Cafeteria workers are actively serving tradtional students during lunch hours, and many parents are at work. Remote students are at home and able to heat up food given earlier in the day if needed.

    I agree 100% is that remote students would use the program if it was during lunch hours or either before or after lunch hours. My child usually eats breakfast at home.

    I think more remote students would use the program if it was during lunch hours, not breakfast
