Beginning Monday, Owensboro Public Schools will only use drive-thru/walk-up sites for their free meal service to children. They will no longer be delivering along the various routes previously used.
The drive-thru/walk up sites include:
• Owensboro High School – 1800 Frederica St.
• Owensboro Middle School – 1300 Booth Ave.
• Cravens Elementary – 2741 Cravens Ave.
• Estes Elementary – 1675 Leitchfield Rd.
• Foust Elementary – 601 Foust Ave.
Meals will be served from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Those receiving meals will receive two breakfasts and two lunches on Monday and Wednesday; two breakfasts and one lunch on Friday.
People who come to pick up meals must maintain the 6-foot social distancing guidelines at all times. There will be no direct hand-to-hand distribution.
A food service employee will ask those who come up how many meals are needed. Meals will then be placed on a table by a food service employee and can be picked up by the individual once the food service employee returns back inside.
This is at the recommendation of health officials to limit interaction between others. Proper sanitation practices (gloves, etc.) will be practiced at all times.
