The School District of Beloit serves over a million meals to kids in the community in a little over a year.

Chief of Communications and Marketing Monica Krysztopa says the district has been providing meals to all kids ages one to 18 seven days a week since March of last year.

Krysztopa says at the onset of the pandemic, meals were available for pick-up at all elementary schools and Beloit Memorial High School five days a week. As the pandemic continued, the School District developed a one-day-a-week meal pick-up and delivery service that included seven days of breakfast and lunch meals.

The one million meals included more than 48,000 gallons of milk, 60 pounds of fresh vegetables per family, and 411,000 servings of fruit.
