School Meal Kits and Local Food Assistance in Dekalb County

In response to recent events and the current political climate, schools in Dekalb County are taking proactive steps to ensure students have access to nutritious meals. I recently received this message from my son’s school:

The school will be providing all students with a Meal Kit, which includes a meal that can be heated and a selection of snacks. Parents can contact the school front office if they prefer their student not to receive a Meal Kit.

These Meal Kits provide students with essential nutrition, helping them stay focused and energized throughout the school day. Ensuring children have consistent access to meals is critical for their learning, health, and overall well-being.

For families who may need additional support, the school also shared a list of local organizations offering food assistance. These resources can help families access groceries, meals, and other support programs when needed.
