Free Meals Available During School Closure 

The National School Lunch and Breakfast Program at Carmel Unified School District will continue to serve nutritious GRAB 'N' GO meals to students during school closure. Meals are free for all children age 18 and under regardless of what school they attend during this emergency crisis.  No paperwork is required. The USDA requirement that children be present at time of meal pick has now been waived. 

CUSD will provide free breakfast and lunch grab-and-go meals to individuals under the age of 18 twice a week. 

Meals will be delivered on Mondays, with meals for two days, and again on Wednesday with meals for three days. 

This program will solely be for the pick-up of meals. No meals can be consumed on-site. We encourage families to continue to be proactive in reducing the risk of COVID-19 by not congregating at the school site and utilizing social distancing according to the protocol described below.
