LPSS is pleased to announce additional options for meals for all children 18 years of age and younger who reside in Lafayette Parish. Through a partnership with Focus Foods for meal distribution, LPSS is continuing the feeding program which launched at the beginning of the school year. While providing students with nutritious meals to help focus on learning, this program enables parents to enjoy a little more free time throughout their week. Participation in this program benefits the schools and the community.
All children 18 years of age and younger who reside in Lafayette Parish are eligible to receive a meal box containing seven snacks and seven suppers under the USDA guidelines and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).. The meal boxes delivered directly to the child’s current home address contain shelf-stable snacks, supper, and milk. The meal boxes available for pickup at the drive-thru hub site will contain a combination of shelf stable and ready-to-eat frozen foods.
There are now two convenient options for parents to choose from:
- Home Delivery = meal kit box including 7 days of snack and supper all shelf-stable delivered weekly to the parent/guardian’s home
- Hub Outlet Pickup = meal kit box including 7 days of snack and supper with both frozen and shelf-stable options
- The distribution outlet has a convenient drive-thru from Tuesday - Saturday from 11:30am – 6:30pm at 5401 Johnston St. Lafayette, LA 70503
Parents already registered for home delivery that would like to add frozen meals, can contact Focus Foods customer service and request to be added for hub site pickup for their combined boxes. Re- registration is not required, just a call to customer service. Unfortunately, frozen boxes can not be delivered to the home at this time.
