The Mason City Community School District will be implementing an emergency food program starting Tuesday, March 17. A curbside lunch pick up with your child ages 1-18 will be available at Roosevelt Elementary and Harding Elementary from 11:00 am-1:00 pm daily. Parents do not need to be present if students are able to pick up the food items themselves. This free meal and snack is being provided for all children 18 and under living in Mason City. Our plan is to provide this service Monday through Friday while school is not in session. We will continue to monitor and assess this need as we respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
