Feeding Initiative Resumes January 25

January 20, 2021

 

The Virgin Islands Department of Education will resume its ‘No V.I. Child Goes Hungry’ Feeding Initiative on Jan. 25, due to ongoing COVID-19 testing for frontline staff. This updates the recently announced date of Jan. 21. 

 

Testing for food service workers, school monitors and school bus drivers in both school districts is expected to be completed this week. The Department of Education continues to work closely with the V.I. Department of Health for COVID-19 testing and training of employees. 

 

All kitchens servicing the feeding program have received specialized deep cleaning by COVID-19-certified contracted cleaners.  

 

Breakfast and lunch will be available for pick-up at 9 a.m. at all distribution sites, Mon.-Fri., until supplies last. The feeding initiative does not operate on holidays and weekends.
