Here’s more info from the district:

One Box = 10 Meals for Every Child
Please visit one of our drive-through or walk-up sites to pick up a box of meals for each child in your household. Each box contains:

• • • 5 breakfast meals

    • Menu with instructions for refrigerating and heating the items inside

These boxes are medium-sized (16 inches by 10 inches by 10 inches). You are welcome to bring your own wagon, bag, or stroller to carry them home.
