School district announces food distribution plan

Wayne County Public Schools officials are attempting to ensure no local child goes hungry, as the district remains closed amid increasing COVID-19 concerns throughout the nation.

WCPS has been granted “federal authority to provide additional feeding supports to help those students who are unsure where their next meal will be coming from,” a news release from the district reads.

Curb-side meals — a lunch for that day and breakfast for the following day — will be available Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Friday meal will include extra food to get students through the weekend. Locations where meals will be distributed include:

  • Charles B. Aycock High
  • Carver Elementary
  • Carver Heights Elementary
  • Eastern Wayne High
  • Grantham Middle
  • Meadow Lane Elementary
  • Rosewood Elementary
  • Spring Creek Middle
  • Tommy’s Road Elementary
  • Wayne Academy

The curb-side service will continue next Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the same times and locations.

Parents who are unable to travel to a pick-up site, but who are in need of meal assistance for their child, should contact 919-705-6139.
