WAPS free meal program will continue with some changes (1/13/2021)
All students in Winona ages 18 and under will be able to continue to receive free meals, even as Winona Area Public Schools (WAPS) transitions all grade levels to an in-person or hybrid learning model.
Students who attend school in-person at a WAPS school will receive free breakfast and free lunch at their school building. All students, regardless if they attend a WAPS school or not, will be able to request a five-day meal pack (which includes both breakfast and lunch) to be picked up on Wednesdays at Winona Senior High School.
