Nutritious evening meal for students on the go now available at Gar-Field High School

After-school activities can often mean that students may miss an evening meal, but the Prince William County School division “is stepping up to ensure that doesn’t happen,” according to a news release.

The School Division is now sponsoring a Virginia Department of Health (VDH) meal program at Gar-Field High School. Dinner will be served free of charge from 4 to 5 p.m. on Monday through Thursday to students participating in after-school programs.

The program, officially known as the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) in the VDH, began in early February at Gar-Field High School. The same meals will be available at no separate charge to all participants without regard to race, color, sex, national origin, age, or disability.

Any complaints of discrimination should be submitted to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20250-9410 or call, toll free, 866.632.9992 (Voice). Individuals who are deaf, hard-of-hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay at 800-877-8339 or 800-845-6136 (Spanish).
