Merced City School District will continue to distribute free USDA Farmers to Families Food Boxes every Wednesday, through October 28th.
On October 7th, we will be at the following schools, starting at 4:00 p.m., while supplies last:
-
Hoover - Enter from Santa Fe Ave., only (exit on 26th)
-
Reyes - 123 South N Street
-
Stefani - 2768 Ranchero Lane
Families will receive one box per vehicle, regardless of income. Each box weighs approximately 30 lbs and may contain: potatoes, apples, cantaloupe or honeydew, cauliflower, celery, eggs, chicken, pork sausage, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, yogurt, sour cream, and milk.
We recommend bringing a wagon if walking to a school. Masks are required for walk ups. The boxes are prepackaged and MCSD has no authority over what is included. Families are asked to remain in their vehicles and open their trunks when it is their turn in line.
Anyone experiencing poor air quality due to wildfire smoke should move indoors to a filtered, air-conditioned environment with windows closed. The common cloth and paper masks being worn due to COVID-19 concerns will not protect individuals from wildfire smoke.
If an area is impacted by smoke and/or falling ash, air quality should be considered unhealthy. All physical exercise should be adjusted and appropriate for current conditions. Employees experiencing any difficulty breathing while outdoors, should move indoors.
