GENEVA AREA CITY SCHOOLS

A robo-call went out on 9/7/20 to share information about FREE breakfast and lunch for any student (ages 1 -18). The Geneva Schools was approved to provide free breakfast and lunch to our community. All students in school can receive a free breakfast and lunch. All online students or students not enrolled can receive breakfast and lunch. Meals can be picked up for multiple days or the whole week. Pickups will be at Austinburg, Cork and GPS from 9:30 am - 10:30 am ...and GMS and GHS from 9am - 10 am. There will be no remote pickup sites and no home delivery for this program.
