PHOENIX, Ore. — With schools closed the next two weeks, some are wondering how their children will get meals. Some districts are helping during spring break, others are not.

Tuesday the 31st. They’ll run Monday through Friday with meals free for community children under 18.

Friday, Medford announced six locations that will be open until March 31st, including the week of spring break.

The Medford School District will serve “grab and go” meals for kids 18 and under on weekdays at six locations throughout the district from Monday, March 16 through Tuesday, March 31. That includes the week of spring break.
