Hello Thomas Gaines Families,

We are happy to announce that we are able to provide up to 125 TGVA families with weekly lunch kits for the remainder of the school year. The lunch kits will contain shelf stable lunch items to supplement the groceries you already have at home. Drive through pick up for lunch kits will take place every week on Wednesdays from 2:00-3:30, beginning March 1^st in front of the Thomas Gaines Office.  If you are unable to make it during that time you are welcome to pick up inside the TGVA office on the following Thursday between 10:00am and 4:00pm.

Once you sign up for the lunch kit, your student will remain on the list unless you opt out.  When all spots have been filled you will be notified that your student is on a waiting list. If you do not pick up, your child’s bag and place may be issued to another student on the waiting list.  Lunch kits are exclusive to TGVA and enrollment is verified by the school office.

We are very excited to be able to offer this to our families.
