Food Service Program During COVID-19 School Closure
During the COVID-19 closure of all Pennsylvania schools for the rest of the academic school year ordered by Governor Wolf, the Food Service team will continue to provide meals for our families who participate in the National School Lunch Program.
Pre-packaged meals will be available during the remainder of the closure. The District will continue to provide these meals to all students in need at no cost to our families. Below are examples of what a meal could look like:
Sample Breakfast Package: Assorted Cereal Pack, Juice Box, and Graham Crackers
Sample Lunch Package: Peanut Butter & Jelly, Assorted Fruit, & Water Bottle
(Gluten-Free and Peanut Free Options are available)
For the safety of our student and their families, all meals will comprise of prepackaged food items to accommodate any specific dietary needs. FIVE (5) Breakfast and FIVE (5) Lunch meals will be distributed per student every distribution. Meal distribution will continue on a weekly basis throughout the extent of the closure.
We will no longer be holding designated times for meal distribution at our buildings. Moving forward, we will handle all meal distribution based on request. If you are in need of meals at any time during the school closure, please send an email to Judy Zeloyle, Food Service office manager at jzeloyle@ucfsd.net or call 610-346-0970 ext. 3334 and leave a message. A member of the food service team will get in touch with you to coordinate meal distribution.
If you have any questions, please contact Bob Cochran, UCFSD Director of Business and Operations at rwcochran@ucfsd.net.
Thank you,
UCFSD Food Service
