Mobile Feeding Carts
Additional Serving Lines
In an effort to expand students’ access to meals in FY21, the SFS Department focused on placing mobile
feeding carts in each of our schools. Their goal was to provide every school the ability to operate distribution
outposts throughout school campus to minimize clusters of students attempting to receive a meal and ensure
that students were able to practice social distancing while having access to free school meals.
Mobile feeding carts also allowed for flexibility in serving breakfast and lunch through in-classroom feeding,
as well as facilitating Grab-and-Go curbside meal distributions for distance learners and after school snacks to
all brick and mortar students.
Mobile meal carts were also a great way to increase participation by allowing staff to bring the meals directly
to where the students congregate during the school day. This successful effort was made possible through
the collaboration of work with the SFS teams from Procurement, Tech, Equipment, Operations, and Nutrition
Services.
By the end of FY21, there was 120 mobile carts placed in schools that were received or purchased from:
Action for Healthy Kids
Beltram Foodservice Group
GENYOUth and The Batchelor Foundation, Inc.
Hubert Company
The Dairy Council of Florida
Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (CARES Act funding)
