We are again partnering with the Chickahominy Health District to hold three vaccine clinics for students in this age range. These clinics are available to all 5- to 11-year-old HCPS elementary and middle school students to give them the opportunity to receive their first or second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.

We will distribute meals on Monday, November 22 for that day and Tuesday, November 23 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at our three curbside distribution locations. Unlike last school year, we are unable to offer curbside meals for holidays and holiday breaks, according to updated guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

COVID-19 continues to cause significant supply chain disruptions that are leading to the unavailability of various food and supply items. This is resulting in last-minute replacements by our vendors that are beyond our control.

We will serve all meals for free to children 18 years old and under for the duration of the 2021-22 school year. Additionally, we will offer curbside meal distribution on Mondays at three schools.
