As we emerge from this turbulent year of constant change, LakerMarketplace, on behalf of Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools, would like to thank our wonderful community for your continued support. Wednesday, June 2 was our last day of Meals-to-Go curbside pick-up for this school year.
Because PLSAS will not be providing meals throughout the summer, we want to share several options for free meals.
The Free Meals for Kids app helps families and kids locate free, healthy meals across Minnesota during the pandemic. The app is powered by GPS and shows locations of schools and other sites that are providing meals and meal packs, with days and hours for distribution. It also shows the distance and directions to the nearest site from your location. The app is updated daily.
Burnsville-Eagan-Savage ISD 191 and Shakopee Public Schools will continue to serve FREE meals to all children regardless what district they are enrolled in.
For locations please visit their websites:
