Q:
May an SFA distribute multiple meals at one time?
A:
Yes. While operating under both the meal time waiver and the non-congregate feeding waiver, SFAs may distribute multiple meals at one time to students or their parent/guardian. SFAs distributing meals for multiple days may provide up to 5 days' worth of meals at one time. Additionally, meals cannot be distributed for any days that curriculum is not being offered, such as weekends, holidays, and non-instructional days.
