Eugene School District 4J provided free grab-and-go student meals at 15 locations across the district while school was in session, but school buildings were closed.
Starting June 15, we transitioned to a summer grab-and-go student meal program at six school sites.
Meals are available for pickup on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., at numerous sites across the district. Families can choose the location that is most convenient for them, regardless of where they live or attend school.
