12 | Acton-Boxborough regional school district
Feeding the Community Between March 2020 and July 2021, the Acton-Boxborough Food Services department served over 300,000 free meals to the community through curb- side pickup. Over 600 people received 14 meals each week. This is in addition to the meals that were served to stu- dents who attended school this past year. Produce boxes were also distrib- uted to families at the same time.
We are very grateful to the Director of Food Services Kirsten Nelson and Cafeteria Managers Jean Tibbets and Amy French who worked tirelessly to make this all happen. We want to thank our entire Food Service Department Staff who all worked hard to make this possible. Curbside pickup would not have been possible if it were not for the many volunteers from Neighbor Brigade. 72 volunteers helped with food distri- bution at the high school and delivery to families who were unable to come and pick up the food . Special thanks to Kathleen Surdan and Nora McMillan from Neighbor Brigade for all of their work in recruiting and organizing all of these events. The School Committee recognized these outstanding contributions to the community at their June 17th meeting.
