The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has extended three nationwide waivers from rules for school meal programs, allowing schools to continue to feed children while supporting social distancing during the summer months.

With rules relaxed, parents and guardians across the nation can pick up meals to bring home to their children, meals can be served to children outside of the normally required group setting, and multiple days’ worth of meals can be provided at once in a “grab-and-go” manner.
