School Feeding Sites
During the closure of our schools, the students from the Diocese of Alexandria Catholic Schools are eligible to receive meals (breakfast and lunch). Below are the feeding sites in Avoyelles, Natchitoches, and Rapides Parish. This information is subject to change. Please visit each of these school’s social media pages for any changes and new or updated information. For more information, please call Janet Burgess, Child Nutrition Supervisor at 318-445-6424 ext. 234.
We want to make sure that our students are taken care of nutritionally through these trying times which have caused the closing of our schools. We are pleased to announce that we will be providing all children 18 and under breakfast and lunch at no charge for the duration of the closure.
Breakfast and Lunch will be given simultaneously between 10:30 and 12:00 Tuesday-Friday
This will be “grab and go” only (students are not allowed in our facilities during the closure, per Governor’s orders). We will have drive-through lines open at the 7 locations that will be providing these meals.
The 7 locations providing meals will be:
Avoyelles High
Bunkie High
Cottonport Elementary
Lafargue Elementary
Marksville Elementary
Plaucheville Elementary
Riverside Elementary
Children must be present in the vehicle to be served.
Remember, this is for all students- even if they are not in our school system- under the age of 18.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
