One additional Hawaii Island location has been added for pickup of “grab-and-go” meals for public and public charter school students.
The Department of Education announced that Hilo Union Elementary School in Hilo was among the 10 school locations added to the list. Meals will begin to be served on April 6.
Parents or caregivers who pick up a meal must be accompanied by a child, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture requirements. Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 8 a.m. and lunch from 11:30 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday.
The department noted that there will be no personal interaction between DOE employees and the community. All meals are placed in containers. Meals will be located outside of the cafeteria, preferably closest to a driveway or natural access point on the campus.
Other Big Island locations provided meals are Kahakai Elementary School, Mountain View Elementary School, Waimea Elementary School, Kohala High School, Konawaena High School, Waiakea High School, Ka‘u High and Pahala Elementary School, and Pahoa High and Intermediate School, according to the department.
