DALLAS —With schools in Europe closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service will begin providing grab-and-go breakfasts and lunches for students beginning March 23.
From 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., families can stop by one of the centralized locations for the grab-and-go meals. Students will need to have their school meal card available to receive the meal.
“The brown-bag option allows students to continue eating healthy meals prepared in a clean and safe environment,” said Col. Scott McFarland, the Exchange’s Europe/Southwest Asia commander. “Even though classes aren’t meeting in person, children are still learning in virtual classrooms, and the Exchange’s school meal program will continue to serve them.”
The following schools will participate in the grab-and-go meal program:
Baumholder Smith Elementary School
Landstuhl Elementary School
Ramstein Elementary School
Vogelweh Elementary School
Kaiserslautern High School
Sembach Elementary School
Ansbach Elementary School
Stuttgart High School
Patch Middle School
RB School
Netzarberg Elementary and Middle School
Vilseck Elementary School
Hohenfels Elementary School
Aukum Elementary School
Wiesbaden Elementary School
The Exchange operates the school meal program for military students overseas, serving more than 2.5 million meals a year.
