HCS Food Locations This Week
Posted on 04/20/2020
Photo: HCS logoFood locations are expanding this week as Wolftever Creek Elementary reopens for food service, the John A Patten Recreation Center opens, and bus routes and stops are added to the new streamlined bus delivery. Wolftever Creek was closed last week due to a loss of power caused by storm damage.

The Hamilton County Schools cafeteria locations will provide food pick-up from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday each week. You do not need to enter the school cafeteria. The food is available as curbside service at the school locations and includes breakfast and lunch for two days. Food is free to any child 18 and under at sites and bus stops. Federal requirements that children accompany adults to the site have been waived so children are not required to accompany an adult to a food pick-up location or bus stop to receive free meals.

The locations in Hamilton County Schools for food pick up are:

Opportunity Zone

Clifton Hills Elementary
East Lake Elementary

Bus routes and stops have been added including routes at Daisy Elementary, Hixson Elementary, DuPont Elementary, Hardy Elementary, East Brainerd Elementary, and Harrison Elementary to the targeted stops serving the community. The bus stops are located on the morning elementary routes buses normally run. Routes will start at 11 a.m., and buses should complete food delivery by 1 p.m. Buses will also run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The bus routes will be specific to a bus number, but the actual bus will not be the vehicle that runs the food delivery route. Look for a smaller bus to deliver food each day.
