With schools in Washington state shutting down until April 24th and many Idaho school's beginning to follow suit to attempt to contain the spread of COVID-19 many children could be without a meal they and their families count on throughout the school year. Luckily, many school districts are vowing to still prepare meals for those in need.

East Valley School District

East Valley has yet to decide how they will assist with meals but the superintendent said the following, "Our primary focus is to find ways to support our students and families during this closure (meals, childcare, learning activities, etc.). As things develop, I will continue to send updates, so be sure to check your email as I am sure I will send more information to families Monday evening. Please remember this situation continues to evolve at a rapid pace, so plans can change quickly." You can find her full statement here.
