Henry County Schools has added two more pick up sites for students and families to get meals while the district is shut down because of the coronavirus.

Oakland and Wesley Lakes elementary schools are the newest pick up sites of meals between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday through Friday until April 3.

The other sites are Locust Grove Elementary School and Hampton, McDonough and Stockbridge middle schools.

School officials said recipients of the meals do not have to attend the schools at which they are served. Recipients must stay in their cars to receive the meals, which include both breakfast and lunch.
