Danville schools are running weekly summer meal pickups at South Elementary
Danville, IN — Danville families can pick up 7 days of breakfasts and lunches each Monday at South Elementary, but weekly ParentSquare sign-up is required.
Danville Community School Corporation is running a summer grab-and-go meal program at Danville South Elementary for summer 2026. The district says families can pick up meals every Monday from June 1 through July 27, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The catch is the weekly sign-up. Households must register through ParentSquare each week, with links released Sundays at 6 p.m. and due Wednesdays at 3 p.m. for the following Monday pickup.
What families receive
Each pickup includes 7 days’ worth of breakfasts and lunches for each child. The district says the meals are pre-packaged, and Monday’s meal is a hot meal. Only parents or guardians may pick up the meals, and children do not have to be in the car.
Pickup is in the parking lot behind South Elementary, using the normal bus-lot traffic pattern during the school year. That makes it a once-a-week stop, not a daily meal line.
Statewide background
The Indiana Department of Education says 2026 summer meal sites are free for children 18 and under, and some locations offer meals-to-go. That state guidance is broader than Danville’s program, but it explains how the local pickup fits into Indiana’s summer food network.
Indiana’s May 29 summer-meals release says students across the state can use meal-site locators to find nearby sites, and that service times can vary by sponsor and location. If the Danville pickup does not fit a family’s schedule, other Indiana summer meal sites may be available nearby.
Why it matters
For Danville parents, the program gives families a predictable weekly routine during summer break. The key dates are Sunday at 6 p.m. for the sign-up link and Wednesday at 3 p.m. for the cutoff before the next Monday pickup.
