NPS serves 318,000+ free meals during pandemic

 

“We are very proud of the partnership between Lunchtime Solutions and NPS that made this possible for the youth of Norfolk,” said Bill Robinson, Associate Superintendent and Director of Business Services.

When the COVID-19 pandemic shut down Norfolk’s school buildings, Robinson said that Food Service Director Melissa Davis and her team immediately started planning with school district officials.

“Everyone on the team wanted to do everything possible to ensure that no young person in Norfolk would be hungry during this unexpected closure,” he said. “Within three days of our announcement on March 16th that NPS buildings would be closed, the Lunchtime team was serving nutritious grab-and-go meals to Norfolk families in a safe, drive-thru manner.”

Lunchtime Solutions, Inc. (LSI) is the food service provider for Norfolk Public Schools.  The full press release sent by LSI is attached.
