New Food Delivery Routes Start Monday, March 23rd  Darren Doyle, story: The Edmonson Voice has worked in conjunction with Edmonson County Schools to offer a digitized county map for the purpose of school food delivery routes and drop-off points during the COVID-19 period. Superintendent of Schools Patrick Waddell said the original route system will be changed effective Monday, March 23rd as a result of the program's growth throughout the week. "We hated to change it but the amount of kids we're servicing in our county has grown tremendously through the week and that's exactly what we want," he said. "We were serving around 100 to 200 kids at first, but that's grown to about 450 now. Waddell said that the food delivery program serves all kids from ages 3 to 18, whether or not they are enrolled at school at Edmonson County. "We will be able to provide both a prepackaged, non-perishable breakfast and a prepared lunch at the same time to kids from ages 3 to 18. If you have visitors from other schools at your home that also need to be fed, as long as they're between these ages, they can be fed, too, we just ask that you notify us before." He said while the breakfasts are prepackaged, the lunches are prepared meals that need to be consumed at or near the delivery time. Supt. Waddell said you must sign up for this service and if you've already signed up, you will need to once more to comply with the new routing system. Once you sign up for the new system you won't have to do it again. You can access this information by clicking here or by calling 270-597-8955. The school system is also accepting NTI school work on both the food delivery routes and in-person at schools. All local school buildings will open from 8am to 2pm daily for the purpose of school business and NTI acceptance. "We realize the new routes may cause a little confusion at first when we start next week, but this will be a much better system for everyone involved," he said. "We want to feed every child we can. During these trying times, we are making sure we're doing all we can for our students and community needs."  Waddell said the new routes should be easier to see and understand and he's asking parents and guardians to follow the route drop-off points as listed.

I wonder if Minit Mart and the big Brick church could be added as stops? There are school age children without a way to get to any stop other than walk. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
