“The families each receive meal packages which include five breakfasts and five lunches for the week. Milford Schools has qualified as an “open site” during this extended school closure. This designation allows the district to serve meals to ANY child aged 18 and younger. Children from ANY school district are welcome. The children DO NOT have to qualify for the free and reduced-price lunch program in Milford or their home district to be eligible.

Wendy Planicka, Director of Communications, says Milford Schools will continue to feed any and all kids during this extended school closure.

“We’re continuing to feed our students in need,” Planicka wrote in an email response to Loveland Beacon. “Basically, we provide packaged meals each Monday for families. They get five breakfasts and five lunches.”
