Dear District 214 Family,
We know the importance of providing healthy meals and the impact nutrition has on a student’s educational experience and their overall wellbeing. The D214 Food and Nutrition Services Department is pleased to announce that we are now able to offer meals free of charge, to all children ages 18 and under. This is made possible through a waiver sponsored by the USDA (effective through May 2021).
What this means for you
Meal bags will be available for drive thru pick-up for any children in need, every Wednesday, from 3:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. at all schools, Rain or Shine. Meal bags consist of seven complete breakfasts and seven complete lunches containing proteins, whole grains, fruit, vegetables, and milk.
Your bag may contain a mixture of refrigerated and frozen meals. Please store items in a refrigerator/freezer within one hour of pick-up. Instructions for storing and cooking meals are available below.

Children do not need to be present at the time of pick-up. You can pick up a meal bag at any District school and do not need an ID for pick-up. You may pick up food for all of your children (including anyone under age 18) at one site.
See pick up location instructions in the right column.
If you have questions, please contact:
The District 214 Food and Nutrition Services Office at 847-718-7638 or 847-718-7639.
Thank you!
Please keep in mind that because menus are written in advance, certain items may be substituted without notice due to unforeseen circumstances. We try to follow the established menu as closely as possible and apologize if a substitution does become necessary.
