Free Meals, Wi-Fi For Cherry Hill Students To Continue In Summer

CHERRY HILL, NJ — The Cherry Hill Public School District continues to provide free meals to all students, and will do so throughout the summer, the district announced.

“Thanks to an extension of federal funds, we will continue to distribute seven free breakfasts, seven free lunches and 10 free snacks per week to each student in Cherry Hill through this summer,” the district said in the announcement. “No income threshold is necessary to receive meals/snacks.”

Public, private and homeschooled children are eligible for the meals, according to the district. Meals are offered every Monday at the district’s two high schools, noon to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

“Please mask up when picking up free meals/snacks,” the district said. “We want to keep you and our Aramark team safe and healthy as they hand out meals to 1,000+ cars each Monday while being unable to maintain 6 feet of social distance. These are state, Cherry Hill, Aramark and CDC guidelines.”

The district has been offering free meals since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic last March.
The district will also continue to offer free Wi-Fi to any family currently using it, unless that family’s youngest or only child is graduating in 2021.
