Meal Distribution
Breakfast and Lunch Distribution will happen on Tuesday and Friday during the Governor-mandated shutdown of schools in Ohio. Despite the "stay at home" order from the Governor, we are permitted and will continue to offer breakfast and lunch distribution for Monroe families in need as scheduled.
During the remaining days in the school year, busses will be at Rochester Hills Office Parking Lot and Monroe Primary School front lot each Tuesday and Friday from 11:00-11:30 a.m. Drive-thru pickup site will be available behind the main campus building by the elementary cafeteria from 12:00-12:30 pm on those same days.
Please know there are many resources in Monroe if food is a need for your family. Email the Butler County Success Liaison lhenrriquez@monroelocalschools.com if you need any support. The Governor recently announced children enrolled in the free/reduced lunch program will receive $300 to buy nutritious food over the summer. This will be automatic; no need to take action. Anyone who needs help applying for food stamps please call Peter Engelhard 513-276-9188 SNAP outreach team Shared Harvest.
