City funds meals
for school district
The Austin City Council on May 7 passed a resolution authorizing the city manager to allocate up to $2.2 million through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act for caregiver meals to be delivered through the Austin school district’s meal distribution sites.
Funds will allow the district to expand the meal program to also serve caregivers, as districts do not receive funding by the Department of Agriculture for these meals.
Caregiver meals will be distributed Mondays through Fridays at school district curbside and bustop meal delivery sites. Caregiver meals will be available only to the adults accompanying children at meal sites or with documentation of the children they are picking meals up for. Food is available until it runs out.
For more information: austinisd.org/covid19/meals.
City funding will also go to the Del Valle school district.
