Oakland Unified School District will be operating 22 locations for 'Grab and Go' lunch. Meals will be available for students enrolled in school up to 12th grade. A new federal rule will not allow the district to give meals to students enrolled in charter or private school. When picking up the lunch, you or the student must verify their enrollment in school by providing the student Aeries ID number.
The Aeries ID# was mailed by nutrition services and has a scannable barcode. Pick-up days are Mondays and Thursdays from 8am to 1pm. Students do not have to be present to get the lunch and you may pick up more than one day's worth of food. You can get more information on the free meals here and see the 22 locations map here.
