No HCPS meals Monday; service will resume Tuesday, with voter registration drive
Table of Contents
There will be no food distribution through Henrico County Public Schools Monday, Sept. 28, because it’s a school holiday in observance of Yom Kippur.
HCPS will resume free curbside pick-up service at all HCPS schools Tuesday and bus stop neighborhood drop-off service Wednesday. When the service resumes, families will not only be able to pick up school meals — they’ll be able to get help registering to vote.
School sites and bus-stop sites will have voter registration information available, including registration forms and guidance on how to register online. Information will be available in English and Spanish for eligible students and family members who need to register before the Oct. 13 deadline.

Distribution of free meals take place at all elementary, middle and high schools Mondays through Thursdays, except for student holidays. Two distribution times are available: 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Those who visit in the mornings will receive hot breakfasts (when available) and cold lunches, while those in the afternoon will receive hot lunches and cold breakfasts for the following day.
HCPS buses distribute free school meals to neighborhoods Mondays and Wednesdays each week, except on student holidays. On Mondays, buses usually distribute meals for Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesdays, they distribute breakfasts and lunches for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, as well as Monday breakfast.)
Buses make 30-minute stops at each location, between 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Free meals are available to any child 18 or younger at all HCPS school locations and identified bus stops. Parents and guardians can pick up meals at any HCPS location regardless of where their student is enrolled and without showing any identification.
The meal distribution is scheduled to continue through Dec. 31.
