Franklin County Schools will offer students six-day meal kits in addition to the three-day kits already provided starting Wednesday.
The six-day meal kits may be picked up only at Westridge and Hearn elementary schools between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and 4:30-6 p.m. on Thursdays. Prior to pickup, a parent or guardian must fill out a meal form for each child at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnroJyFCd8QW1U2itBpv-UicERR7kraQv6d-gIdRoGi9wdDQ/viewform?fbclid=IwAR2w6cmSZT9tOV6-GHdU8wBWQmaVLGsw0wHC10i37mU12H7fJnAIyFhKYkE
Families who sign up for the three-day meal kits can choose to pick them up at any of eight schools: Bondurant Middle, Bridgeport, Collins Lane, Elkhorn Middle, Franklin County High, Hearn, Peaks Mill and Westridge.
All children 18 and younger are eligible for the free meal kits.

Isn’t that absolutely wonder that our “ public “ ( not private) county school system is doing this to feed children?!!! You bet it is!
Isn’t it also sad that our Federal Government is letting “ SNAP”( Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs ) crumble at hungry children’s feet while the “ Fat Cats in the GOP Senate ( McConnell) “ shovel food in their mouths - paid for by you and me ?
