📍 Location: Chester High School
🕚 Hours: Tuesdays & Fridays | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
🚗 Please look at the traffic flow map before arriving to help us keep things moving smoothly.
Your cooperation will help ensure a safe and efficient experience for everyone.

⭐ DO I NEED TO REGISTER?
Registration will be at the Chester High School Cafeteria every Monday from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
⭐ WHY IN-Person Registration?
We require in-person registration so we can:
* Verify your information
* Provide your official car tag immediately, which is required for meal pick
⭐ CAN I RIDE WITH ANOTHER PARENT TO PICK UP MEALS?
Yes! Carpooling is encouraged.
Just show us your CAR TAGS so we know how many kids you're picking up for.
Children do not need to be present.
⭐ WHAT IF I DON’T “NEED” IT? AM I TAKING AWAY FROM SOMEONE ELSE?
Not at all! Participating actually helps the program.
Higher participation = more funding = more options like:
*Fresh fruits & vegetables
*A food truck
*Sustaining and growing the program for future summers


✅ We are currently serving 727 kids, which means we will be providing:
🍽️ 4,362 meals on Tuesday
🍽️ 5,816 meals on Friday
Thank you to all who registered! We’re ready to serve!
A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the volunteers, staff, and community members who make this possible. Feeding our kids this summer is a true blessing—we couldn’t do it without you!
