Some items are ready to eat, and others are in bulk. Kits may include local produce, bread, cheese, fruit, cereal, and more.

No sign-up is required, but filling out the form helps us plan and make enough kits.
We will post a new sign-up form every Thursday.

SIGN UP FOR THIS WEEK'S PICK-UP

How Pick-Up Works

  • Go to BFUHS during the pick-up time

  • Make sure your trunk or back seat is empty—the kits are large

  • Park, open your trunk, and roll down your passenger-side window

  • Tell us how many children you are picking up kits for

Important Rules

  • Only one kit per child each week

  • Children cannot get meals from more than one summer site

  • Children do not need to be there—a parent or guardian can pick up for them

  • Meal Modification Requests—a parent or guardian needs to complete and return the Vermont AOE form for meal modifications for their student.

WNESU Summer Non-Congregate Meals Integrity Plan for Meal Distribution - 2026

These strategies will be employed to ensure that bulk Meal Kits for Kids are only served
to children aged 18 and under who do not have access to other free meals served at program
sites. The plan is also designed to ensure that children who receive meals at other congregate
meal sites do not get duplicate meals through the non-congregate site options, and that only
parents and guardians pick up the meals. View Information
