Fayette County Public Schools will remain closed at least until March 31, but the School Nutrition Program is expanding the sites where free packaged breakfast and lunch meals will be distributed to all students age 18 and under (and those age 21 and under with disabilities) between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Meals will continue to be available at Spring Hill and North Fayette elementary schools in Fayetteville, and starting March 18, will also be handed out at Fayette County High School, 1 Tiger Trail in Fayetteville. Starting March 20, three more Fayetteville sites will be added at the Marnelle (1512 Ga. 54 West), Four Seasons (100 Apollo Drive) and Kenwood Landing (225 Club Drive) mobile home parks, as well as at Peachtree City First Baptist Church (208 Willowbend Road).

All service is drive-through for pickup only, and the eligible children must be in the car to receive them.
