HOW CAN I GIVE BACK DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME?
If your family doesn’t rely on school meals, you may not be aware of the heroic efforts of Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ nutrition professionals. When COVID-19 hit Miami, the district’s School Lunch Heroes responded to school closures without hesitation committing to feed the children of our city through the unknowns of this health crisis. We applaud their commitment to feeding our children and encourage you to support them. During registration, please consider supporting Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ food service program, so they can continue to serve our children and so that they have the critical food safety equipment needed to safely deliver food to children who without school meals, may go hungry. Your gift will help offset the extraordinary expenses that the district is incurring due to this health crisis, and that are not covered by the city, state or federal governments.
