MADISON COUNTY, ALABAMA, Ala. — Following Governor Kay Ivey's Shelter in Place order, MCS sat down to refine their plan for feeding students district wide.
Their new plan involves several community organizations stepping in to help provide meals for those in need.
Madison County Schools will donate all produce and available perishable items to several local organizations. They in turn will make those items and other food items available.
If you are in need of food or other essential resources please call 2-1-1, view the list below, or visit our website to obtain contact information for local organizations that may be able to help.
