The CCSD has partnered with MUST Ministries since COVID-19 closed schools in March, and the program has been extended into the summer months.

Starting Monday, June 29, the schedule for picking up a five-days’ worth supply of food will change, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

East Cobb Middle School remains one of those pickup spots.

The district estimates it has provided 400,000 meals, funded by the federal school lunch program, with MUST volunteers manning the pickup sites. Cobb schools nutritional staff have been preparing the breakfasts and lunches.

Anyone 18 and under is eligible for the food, and the student must be present to receive it. Those students include pre-K students, rising kindergartners, recent graduates under 18, and those students new to Cobb County.
