The Virgin Islands Department of Education late Sunday announced changes to its “No V.I. Child Goes Hungry” meal distribution sites, effective today. D.O.E. said the changes are the result of an assessment of participation levels at various locations.

Meals will be distributed as planned on March 30 during the USVI’s “Day of Prayer, Fasting and Reflection.” Meals will not be distributed on March 31 during the territory’s observance of the Transfer Day holiday.

Meal Distribution Site Changes 

In the St. Croix District, Alfredo Andrews Elementary School has been added as a distribution site, while the Pearl. B. Larsen PreK-8 site has been eliminated. Families that would normally pick up at Pearl B. Larsen, should visit the Juanita Gardine site, D.O.E. said.
