San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) will continue to provide free Grab and Go Meals to students on Mondays and Wednesdays.

All SBCUSD students, regardless of family income, are eligible for free Grab and Go Meals. Both breakfast and lunch to-go meals are available for pick up Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 to 11 a.m. Distribution ends at 11 a.m. to protect families from heat-related health issues and to prevent food from spoiling in high temperatures. However, students will be provided with multiple meals at a time. Families are encouraged to refrigerate those meals to maintain food safely.

“Originally, meal distribution was scheduled to start at 9 a.m., but due to overwhelming requests by families that meal distribution start earlier, our Nutrition Services team responded quickly to add an hour and start distribution at 8 a.m.,” said Executive Director of Community Engagement Ginger Ontiveros. “We believe that parent and student input is vital to school success, and we continue to do our best to meet the needs of our families in these unpredictable and unprecedented circumstances.”

Families will be required to provide the name and school of each child for which they are picking up meals. Every student is eligible to receive five days worth of meals each week.

Grab and Go Meal distribution is at the following locations:

As of August 3, Chavez Middle School is no longer a Grab and Go Meal distribution site.
