Cherry Hill Schools Announce New Time For Free Meal Pickup

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The Cherry Hill Public School District has set a new time for meal pickup as it continues to provide free meals to all students, and will do so throughout the summer, the district announced.

Beginning Monday, the early distribution time will move up one hour, and will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the district announced on Wednesday. The later distribution will still take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Cherry Hill’s two high schools.

There will be no distribution on May 31 for Memorial Day. It will take place the following day that week instead.

Cherry Hill families who did not submit a free/reduced lunch application for this current school year are advised to do so if they believe they qualify.

“The State of NJ is discussing an additional P-EBT card for family assistance over the next few months,” the district said in an email to the community. “You will need to apply and qualify to receive this additional P-EBT card. Families currently on SNAP or TANF do not need to apply.”

The deadline to apply is May 31, 2021, for this current year. The online application is available on the district website. You will still need to apply on Aug. 15, 2021, for the 2021-2022 school year.
