Resources For Families

MSAD 60 Meal Distribution

Starting Wednesday, April 8th, 2020 food services will have meal pick-up/deliveries ONLY on Wednesdays. We will provide 7 days worth of breakfast and lunch to each child under the age of 18 for FREE. We will continue to serve only on Wednesdays at Noble High School, Noble Middle School, Hanson Elementary from 11-12. It does not matter which school your child attends, they can receive a meal at any of these locations.

Those who participate in the backpack program will be able to pick up their backpacks at any of our locations on Wednesdays as well.

Should your family not have access to reliable transportation to get you to a meal site, please fill out this survey and we can coordinate with the transportation department to have a meal delivered: https://forms.gle/8ZkZ4dYBdErq7MGX8

If your family is experiencing financial hardship or a change in income, we ask that you please submit a meal application at www.myschoolapps.com. Your meal application is completely confidential and secure. We would like to continue to be a resource to families during this time and by submitting an application you can help the school nutrition program qualify for a variety of programs that will continue to benefit children and the community!

Even if your child does not participate in the meal program, your application can help us increase our funding for classrooms and the nutrition program. Please submit one today! Meal applications are valid for one school year and are accepted at any point during the school year.

Please feel free to contact the food services department via email or phone call. Contact info: abbey.pelletier@msad60.org or jennifer.allain@msad60.org 207-676-2234 x 5
