Gary schools food distribution moved to Tuesday

In light of Memorial Day, Community School Corporation will distribute food items to youth ages 18 and younger from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Tuesday. The routes will remain the same. In an effort to raise awareness and participation in the 2020 Census, information and promotional items will be distributed to families as food items are picked up.

The Census materials were made available thanks to the Gary schools’ involvement with the Gary Census Count committee led by the Urban League of NWI and the City of Gary.

During Tuesday’s food distribution, a fleet of buses will be dispatched to locations across the city and will stay in these locations for 45-minute increments or until food items are exhausted. There will not be a second route, therefore, early arrival is suggested. Families should only get food from one site to ensure that the District can serve as many youth as possible.
