Cape Kids Meals-Weekend Meal Program

How it Works:
  1. Schools work with families to determine participation.
  2. Shelf stable food is purchased from the Greater Boston Food Band and other retail stores.
  3. Bags are packed weekly at one of Cape Kid Meals packing centers.
  4. CKM provides a bag filled with easy to prepare meals and snacks to help last them through the weekend. 
  5. Bags are delivered to the schools each week.
  6. Bags are placed discreetly into a child’s backpack by school personnel before dismissal.
  7. The entire program is confidential-only the schools know who is participating.

It's Time to Bundle Up!

Please make sure your students are ready for the cold, (coat, hat, gloves-preferably waterproof, boots)...we go outside for recess as long as the feels like temperature is 20 degrees or above! That's brisk!

Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram! Also, be sure to check out our new website!

MES has established a new social media page on Facebook and Instagram, and I wanted to provide the links for you to follow along if you’d like! We’ll be sharing school events, student learning and achievements, community engagement and more!
