At the current time, ECS does not have plans to distribute meals over the summer, but that could change, so we encourage families to check back here if you are in need of meals for children during the summer.
In the meantime, there are a number of organizations that can assist with obtaining nutritious food. If you need assistance, regardless of income, we encourage you to reach out for help.
Organizations that stand ready to help:
The USDA Farmers to Families Food Box
The Farmers to Families Food Box will be free and available to all ECS families, regardless of income, on every other Wednesday between 11an -2pm (July 8th is the next distribution date). You can pick up your produce box at the bus garage. It is first come, first serve until all boxes are gone. Food boxes will continue to be available every other Wednesday after June 8th during the COVID19 emergency or until further notice. Times and pick-up locations will stay the same until further notice.

The Officers of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA), voted to delay the official start date of the Fall 2020 sports season, cancel the Fall 2020 Regional and State Championships and prepare to implement a condensed season schedule in January 2021 if high school sports remain prohibited throughout 2020 due to COVID-19. This decision comes at the recommendation of the NYSPHSAA COVID-19 Task Force.
