Amid uncertainty about the duration of COVID-19 outbreak, Columbia Public Schools is providing support with food, technology and academics.
Columbia public schools are closed through April 12. Grab-and-go meal delivery for students in need will begin next Monday at some regular bus stops.
Eight buses will run multiple-stop routes on weekdays with time-specific stops. Students can meet the bus at the designated stop and time to pick up their meals.
The Food Bank of Central & Northeast Missouri provides a list of all the partner agencies that are providing food, including many community and faith-based groups, to help bridge the gaps.
To practice social distancing, The Food Bank Central Pantry is changing from an open store to a drive-in service.
