Martin Middle School, a regular weekly distribution site, will not serve meals on Thursday, Feb. 25.  

Meal packs are free for any child younger than 19 as well as those older than 19 who utilize special education resources or who are enrolled in school to complete the requirements for a high school diploma.  

Free caregiver meals, prepared by local restaurants, are also available for the adults accompanying children or with documentation of those that they are picking meals up for. Caregiver meals are made possible through funding from the City of Austin and the AISD Crisis Support Fund, established by the Austin Ed Fund.

Parents or caregivers may receive meal packs without children present by providing documentation — such as a birth certificate, student ID card, report card, or attendance record — at the point of meal service. Children do not have to be enrolled in AISD to receive meals.  

Meals are served curbside, families are advised to stay in their cars and not enter buildings during meal pick up. Families who come by walking/biking/transit may still receive food outside the campuses. Curbside meals are chilled and served cold to be taken home and reheated.  

Meals for children and caregivers are available until all packages are distributed.

Curbside meal sites are subject to change due to facility conditions.  

Families may visit austinisd.org for information on food, water, and other resources or text FOOD to 512-886-6434 to find AISD curbside meal sites in their area.
