Roseburg Public Schools will begin distributing free meals to district students on Monday.

An RPS release said a current student ID card will be required for students or a parent or caregiver to collect the meals.

Meals will be distributed at specified school locations and via district-wide bus routes Mondays through Fridays. ID cards are being mailed to families this week. One meal bag will be provided per ID card. If an ID card has not been received in the mail, or has been lost, parents can visit one of the open school cafeterias during the scheduled meal service to receive a new card.

Grab-and-go bagged breakfasts will be served from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., followed by lunch from 11:30 to 12:00 p.m. at Hucrest, Fir Grove, Fullerton, Eastwood, Winchester, Sunnyslope and Green elementary schools.

The release said a combination of grab-and-go bagged breakfast and lunch will be delivered to more than 560 bus stop locations including Roseburg High School, Freemont Middle School and Melrose Elementary.
