Food Services as of 06/18/2021
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved waivers for local school divisions to implement the Summer Food Service Program to provide meals to children in the community free of charge during the current school year. These waivers have been extended through the end of summer 2021 and support access to nutritious meals while minimizing exposure to COVID-19.

Once the academic school year ends, Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) will resume serving Summer Food Service Program meals at no charge to all children at select VBCPS schools, starting with June 28, 2021.

Breakfast and lunch meals will be available to children 18 and under, whether they are enrolled in a face-to-face summer program or picking up meals through the drive by/pickup model (the same model we have operated all year for virtual students). Meal pick up service will be provided between 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m., Monday - Thursday. There will be no meal service on Friday. Thursday’s curbside pick-up bag will contain breakfast and lunch meals for Friday - Sunday.
