District 88 is committed to making sure children continue to receive food service throughout the summer. The district is maintaining its partnership with its food-service provider—Chartwells—and Cottage Hill Operating Company to offer free meals this summer. All district residents up to the age of 18 are eligible to receive seven days of free meals (seven breakfasts and seven lunches, as well as milk) each week. Those meals are distributed on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The food is distributed at Willowbrook High School, 1250 S. Ardmore Ave., Villa Park, inside Door 6 (the entrance near the main gymnasium), as well as at the district’s other school—Addison Trail High School. Each week’s distribution includes entrees and a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables. The June 30 distribution offered 14 days of free meals, as there will be no meals provided on July 7. The weekly distributions will resume on July 14.
